Spanish reporter Joan Fontes, on his "Off the record" podcast, has revealed that the soon-to-be 23-year-old had his reasons for staying on at Camp Nou. In the leaked audio, Puig is heard talking to a few strangers at his driving school back in February. He said that signing for Chelsea or the Rossoneri would have seen him get thrust into loneliness. Even though the salary would have been higher, he decided to stay put at Barcelona. The midfielder is heard saying: "I received offers from Chelsea and Milan. I didn't leave because I'm in good shape here in Barcelona. There, they will pay me double but I'll be alone.” Furia Culé@FuriaCule20 Riqui Puig: “Tenia ofertas del Chelsea y del Milán. No me fui porque estoy muy bien aquí en Barcelona, a ver, te pagan el doble y estás ahí solo...”Aquí tenéis el audio que ha desvelado @JoanFontes de unas palabras de Riqui Puig en febrero a unos compañeros de autoescuela.1999194 Riqui Puig: “Tenia ofertas del Chelsea y del Milán.

However, the La Masia graduate was continuously neglected at the Catalan club. As a result, he never had the chance to blossom properly or gain momentum. Puig has just one year left on his contract at Barcelona. He is now set to leave the Spanish giants this summer and join Major League Soccer (MLS) outfit LA Galaxy. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that LA Galaxy have reached a full agreement with Barcelona and the player for the deal. A sell-on clause has been included in Puig's contract and the midfielder will spend his next three years in the MLS. Fabrizio Romano@FabrizioRomanoFull agreement completed: Riqui Puig will join LA Galaxy on permanent deal from Barça on a three-year contract, here we go. Documents now being prepared. #LAGalaxySell on clause included - green light arrived yesterday and it’s now matter of time.346062211Full agreement completed: Riqui Puig will join LA Galaxy on permanent deal from Barça on a three-year contract, here we go.

Hopefully, playing in the MLS will help the La Masia graduate fulfill his potential and come back stronger in Europe. Barcelona offer Chelsea a chance to sign three players According to the Evening Standard, the Blaugrana have offered the Blues an opportunity to sign as many as three of their players. It has been a somewhat frustrating transfer window for Thomas Tuchel's side, who have been beaten by Barcelona in two straight transfer battles. Both European giants went after Leeds United attacker Raphinha and Sevilla defender Jules Kounde. Chelsea looked confident of signing both at one point, but eventually lost the race as both of them joined the Catalan club. The Spanish giants have now offered the English outfit a chance to sign Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Frenkie de Jong and Memphis Depay.
