Ronald Koeman tells Riqui Puig he is not in his Barcelona plans

New Barcelona boss Ronald Koeman has told Riqui Puig he will not be part of his plans at Camp Nou and should seek a transfer away from the club, according to reports.

The Dutch coach replaced Quique Setien at the end of last month and was expected to usher in a new era, getting rid of Barca’s older stalwarts and bringing in new blood from the academy.

But after just a couple of weeks of watching Puig in training, Koeman has seen enough and according to Catalan radio RAC1 has told the 21-year-old to leave.

Barca take on Elche on Saturday in the Joan Gamper Trophy their final pre-season friendly, but Puiq has been axed from the 23-man squad for the game. (Metro)
