Riqui Puig is one of the players that FC Barcelona wants to release in its goal of lightening the squad. After several years in which the youth squad has not convinced any coach, it is time to leave the club of his life and continue his career away from him, where he can shine. The Catalan soccer player would have been waiting for offers from European clubs, but these would not have come and since the registrations in the MLS end this week, he would have finally accepted the offer from the Los Angeles Galaxy.
At 22 years old, the culé midfielder is heading for the MLS and will sign three seasons with the Californian team. It is true that he is young to go to the United States, a league he associates with as a retirement for European players, but everything indicates that the footballer would have prioritized economic pretensions ahead of sports ones.
The young player was one of the great promises of the Catalan club, but the expected physical development has not arrived and that weighs him down despite having great talent. He will now be able to shine in a less demanding league, and in addition, he will share a team with players like Chicharito, Douglas Costa or the former Blaugrana player, Víctor Vázquez.
The player does not rule out returning to Europe if good offers are presented after this stage. The last case has been Ibrahimovic, who after a few years precisely in the Los Angeles Galaxy, returned to Milan and performed at a high level. The reality is that most players no longer return to Europe, as is the case with Carlos Vela, who also left young and has become an MLS star.
Riqui Puig could emulate the Mexican and make a career in the Californian team, being able to aspire to better contracts, while enjoying one of the regions with the best climate and comfort in the United States.
