Celta Vigo a ‘serious option’ for Barcelona’s Riqui Puig - report

Celta Vigo have reportedly emerged as a “serious option” for Barcelona midfielder Riqui Puig ahead of the summer transfer window.

Diario Sport are reporting the Galicians are looking for a replacement for none other than Denis Suarez and could make a move for Puig.

The report reckons Puig likes Celta boss Eduardo Coudet which could well help any possible deal go through

Barcelona are hoping for a fee of over €5 million for Puig, although it’s not clear if Celta are willing to buy the 22-year-old midfielder.

Puig’s contract expires in 2023 which means that Barca could always extend his deal and then send him out on a season-long loan which might suit all parties better.
