Barcelona ready to hand Riqui Puig new contract

Barcelona are ready to hand Riqui Puig a new contract.

Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reports that Sergi Roberto, Puig and Oscar Mingueza are all expected to stay at the club, with the latter duo seeing a clause triggered to take them to 2023.

Romano says that Roberto may also sign for another two years and the LaLiga giants are confident about reaching consensus with all three players.

The trio graduated from Barcelona's famed La Masia youth system and it is important for the club to maintain a strong connection with the academy.

Puig, 21, has long been seen as an academy graduate who can make it at the top. The gifted midfield player has made 11 LaLiga appearances and played four times in the Champions League.
