Carles Alena to leave & Riqui Puig to stay at Barcelona in January?

It’s been another frustrating season for young midfielders Carles Alena and Riqui Puig at Barcelona with both players having seen precious few chances to impress in the first team so far in 2020-21.

Ronald Koeman did advise the club’s young stars to go out on loan at the start of the season and offers for the duo are likely to come in now the January transfer window has opened.

Alena had a temporary spell with Betis last season and looks the most likely to depart after managing just two substitute appearances in La Liga. A move to Getafe looks to be on the cards after club president Angel Torres admitted his team were keen.
