Man City, Leeds eyeing Barcelona youngster Riqui Puig

Manchester City and Leeds United are watching Riqui Puig’s situation at Barcelona.

Barcelona are trying to convince midfielder Puig to sign a new deal amid concerns over his future.

The Spaniard’s contract expires next summer, and City, Leeds and Bayern Munich are among the interested clubs.

And Barca bosses could find it hard to talk Puig into the proposal, with the promising talent having made just four appearances this season.

And their case will not be helped after manager Ronald Koeman aimed a dig at out of favour playmaker, suggesting he is not working hard enough.

Koeman, who was asked about Puig, said: “I like people who work every day to improve, and who take opportunities with both hands. Sometimes it’s not just about quality.

“There may be players who don’t do enough in training for the coach to give opportunities.”
