LA Galaxy sign Barca midfielder Puig

Barcelona midfielder Riqui Puig signed a contract with the Los Angeles Galaxy on Thursday that runs through the 2025 season.

The Galaxy used Targeted Allocation Money (TAM) to complete the transaction. As part of the deal, Barcelona have the option to buy back the Spaniard and will receive 50 per cent on any future sale.

The move comes on the same day the Galaxy transferred midfielder Rayan Raveloson to Ligue 1 side AJ Auxerre to open an international spot on their roster.

“We are pleased to welcome Riqui to the LA Galaxy,” Galaxy head coach Greg Vanney said in a release. “Riqui is a very technical and well-educated player with incredible experiences for his age. He will fit seamlessly into our group and style of play.”
