All reports point to Riqui Puig making a surprising switch to the MLS, specifically, the LA Galaxy. A few days short of his 23rd birthday, Puig’s career seems to have gone slightly off the rails since being promoted as La Masia’s next big thing.
Puig’s debut with FC Barcelona came four years ago, but his progression has been closely watched for years before. Viral clips of his skill and comparisons to Andrés Iniesta have gone back even further, into his early teens.
After his first-team debut in the 18-19 season, the expectation was that Puig would soon develop into a great player.
