Barcelona set timeline for Riqui Puig decision amid lack of game time

Barcelona are set to make a decision on one of their young prospects this summer.

It has been a difficult time for young Riqui Puig, who is another of the highly rated players to graduate from La Masia in recent years.

But unlike Pedri, Nico and Gavi, Puig hasn’t managed to burst onto the scene, despite making 37 La Liga appearances to date.

He is now 22 years of age, and landing a regular starting spot still appears to be out of reach for the midfielder.

Even with that, he decided to stay and fight for his place over the summer, despite having options to depart.

Ten appearances and just one La Liga start later, and it has become clear that something needs to change.
