Things don’t seem to be all too rosy at Barcelona lately following the news that Riqui Puig has signed up with Major League Soccer (MLS) team, LA Galaxy.

The 22-year-old midfielder joined the Los Angeles side on a free transfer after apparent audio recordings of Puig criticising team-mate Ferran Torres – who had joined Barca from Manchester City in January – were recently leaked on a podcast dedicated to gossip happening at Camp Nou.

Barcelona confirmed the deal via both their official website and Twitter account on Thursday, 4 August, while adding that the Catalan Giants retain the right to repurchase Puig, and receive 50% on his possible future sale.

Since starting with the A-team in 2018, he had only played two La Liga games under Barca boss Xavi and scored two goals from 42 games with the club, despite a promising career as a rising star with the Spanish outfit.

Now, it looks like Puig will have to make a name for himself in the MLS and forget about the European big leagues.
