Riqui Puig has been one of the footballers with the most uncertain future of face to the next campaign. The one of Matadepera wants to triumph in Barcelona, but Xavi Hernández understands that the best for his growth is that it find a new destination, at least by this season. The irruption of Gavi and Nico in the medullary have left him in the ostracism, more still with the incorporation of Franck Kessié like new reinforcement to 'cost zero'.

Between the clubs that have sounded to purchase his services is the Fiorentina, although the last statements of his sportive director, Daniele Pradè, have derrumbado the options of the Catalan of recalar in the Series To. In a press conference offered by the executive, and desveladas by the journalist Fabrizio Romano, commissioned to deny the interest of the club by the midfield player of the Barça.

Besides, also it spoke of another of his futuribles, the one who will land in floor trasalpino from the Real Madrid. "We are in negotiations by Luka Jović of the Real Madrid, expect to close the prompt deal. Also with Dodó of the Shakhtar", affirmed.

Already the '6' has accepted to go out in search of minutes and new challenges, but keeps in his list of aims the possibility to go back and turn into protagonist in the Camp Nou. So much the Benfica like Valencia have showed interest, and will be the next days those that will dictate sentence on the new destination of the mediocentro.

Renewal in sight?

Although his career seems to aim far of Catalonia, the true is that the club considers indispensable to renew him before opening him the door of exit. With 22 years, his agreement finalises in 2023, by what would not be a wise decision leave him go out without keeping him 'tied' at least by a campaign more. From the breast culé consider that it still has good projection and that his condition of free agent, once culminate a hypothetical cession, will turn him into an active affordable for average Europe.
