Valencia plans a 'revolution' and Riqui Puig would be key in it

The FC Barcelona expect to make him a 'washed of expensive' to his staff during the following summer. The Catalans expect to concretise the arrival of diverse players that reinforce the most weakened positions of the square of Xavi Hernández, and from the offices of the Camp Nou work to achieve said aim. Nevertheless, the delicate economic situation of the institution will not allow to do big investments if before they do not produce exits, by what several footballers culés are in the 'eye of the hurricane'.

In this sense, one of the main 'signalled' is Riqui Puig. The canterano debuted with the Barcelona T-shirt in LaLiga on 13 April 2019 under the orders of Ernesto Valverde and aimed to be one of the figures of the culés in the future. However, from his official promotion to the first team in the season 2020-2021 the midfield player has not known to do a gap in the staff so much of Ronald Koeman as of Xavi Hernández, by what this last already has communicated him that it does not go in in his plans for the following campaign and the club will look for him an exit.

This situation could be taken advantage of by Valencia, those who expect to live a 'revolution' in the market of signings. The group 'che' goes through a crisis that it covers from the sportive until the institutional, and the same has aggravated after the owner of the entity, Peter Lim, have sacked to the now ex president of the club, Anil Murthy, after some audios filtered in 'Superdeporte' in which desvelaba opinions and sensitive informations on the future of the team. After this, the employer singapurense looks for to give him a 'volantazo' to the present of the entity and has begun the management to change the situation.

The first change made by Lim, the one who is advised by the Portuguese agent Jorge Mendes, would take place in the benches, where Gennaro Gattuso would be the elected to occupy the place that would leave José Bordalás. The 'landing' of the Italian technician in Mestalla would be to the 'fall', and this already would have done him arrive to the owner his first request. And it is that the ex trainer of the Naples would want to have Riqui Puig in his staff. Gattuso Is a big valedor of the young mediocampista and considers his signing like prioritario in his planning.

The relation between clubs, fundamental

The good relation between the Catalans and 'blanquinegros' would facilitate the traspaso of the footballer. In fact, it does some weeks took place in the City Condal a meeting between the president of the Barça, Joan Laporta, and Anil Murthy, in which several names were on the table. The institution 'che' would have offered him to the blaugranas to Carlos Soler and José Luis Gayá, whereas they did him arrive his interest in Puig and in Martin Braithwaite. By the moments, would be the one of Matadepera the first in putting course to Mestalla, where will have to give the step of 'eternal' promise to reality.
