Riqui Puig tells Barcelona he’s not leaving - report

Riqui Puig is not ready to leave FC Barcelona and will fight for minutes, according to the latest rumors from Catalonia. The young player has been linked with a loan move away from the Camp Nou. This, because manager Ronald Koeman is said to not be confident Puig would have many minutes should he remain in Barcelona.

The player was left out of Barcelona’s squad for the Joan Gamper Trophy match against Elche, prompting rumors that he could be loaned or even sold.

There was apparently a meeting between the player’s agent and father, Carlos, and the club.
