The Portuguese club is very interested in getting the Barcelona midfielder on loan and it could be the definitive way
Lazio and Valencia are the other alternatives that the Catalan player manages
Benfica has not yet thrown in the towel and continues to insist on getting the transfer of the Blaugrana midfielder Riqui Puig for the next season. As confirmed by the Italian journalist Giacomo Iacobellis on the ‘Jijantes’ twitch channel, the Portuguese club is very interested and could be the definitive way.
The youth squad does not fit into the plans of Xavi Hernández, coach of the FC Barcelona, ahead of the next season and is looking for an exit immediately. Lazio and Valencia have also been interested in Riqui Puig in recent weeks.
The Roman club is looking for an attacking midfielder and its coach, Maurizio Sarri, has given its approval to the incorporation of Catalan. Lazio is willing to assume a large part of the player’s record.
SCORE
Valencia also tested the possible incorporation of Riqui Puig after the arrival of Gennaro Gattuso to the Mestalla bench.
The Blaugrana midfielder does not have to join training next Monday, July 4, since Xavi Hernandez, Blaugrana coach, has given him one more week of vacation to resolve his situation, as is the case with Óscar Mingueza and Samuel Umtiti.
