The FC Barcelona follows advancing in his sportive planning, and one of the cases for resolving is the one of Riqui Puig.

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The FC Barcelona carries months working in the planning of his staff, and of way to the month of September will have to resolve several pending subjects. In addition to defining totally the high and corresponding drops to the first team, touches to value the promotions and movements in the filial, a task that indirectly could affect to the perspectives of the changing room of the 'greater'.

A folder that is on the table of the sportive managers is the one of Riqui Puig, that with 19 years already is calling to the door. The one of Matadepera is a midfield player with the unambiguous stamp of the Masia, with ease for the pass, a stood out vision of game and a magic in the movement that does to think in a very similar profile to the ones of Xavi Hernández and Andrés Iniesta.

After beginning to show to the trainings the past course of the hand of Ernesto Valverde, this year has given some step more in his progression, and debuted in LaLiga the past weekend. The Catalan was exultant after premièring in The Alcoraz, and left clear his intentions for a near future: "I Want to be still in this club. It is the club of my life, of my parents, of my family... If they give me to choose I will follow here".

The young promise barcelonista closed slightly the door to a cession, a formula that many saw like ideal for his consolidation in the football of high level. Like sucedió with Carles Aleñá, the technicians prefer that it invest a time more in his training so that when it give the jump can compete with his mates, some of the best footballers of the planet, in equality of conditions.

It does not go to be easy that Riqui Puig can have minutes to keep growing in the first team, because the medullary is a very populated plot and the Glass of the King is a too brief competition as to be the only in which his participation was more or less safe. It is necessary to explain that, before concretising some exits, are by in front Sergio Busquets, Ivan Rakitic, Arthur, Arturo Vidal, the own Aleñá and Frenkie of jong, in addition to Rafinha Alcántara and Denis Suárez or Sergi Roberto and Philippe Coutinho, that also can act in this zone.

The Barça will take beside Riqui Puig a decision that benefit him

That's why, as it left to fall Josep Maria Bartomeu in an interview, the Barça will program a meeting with Riqui Puig to determine his future, and decide if the best is that his promotion confirm already or that there is a previous toll in shape of loan to a team of First Division. The Real Betis, for example, is very pending of the promises culés, and will be figures like Éric Abidal, Ernesto Valverde or Pep Safe those that will have to value beside the footballer if it suffices with the training in the trainings or will have to have something more than patience to triumph in the Camp Nou.
