Ronald Koeman exploded and told at FC Barcelona that he no longer wants Riqui Puig. That is the rumor that is now being said at the Catalan press, after the victory that his team achieved against UE Cornellá for Copa del Rey. Despite the goals Ousmane Dembélé and Martin Braithwaite, the Dutch manager ended the working day enraged.

The reason is that he saw a very bad attitude at Puig and wants him out of Barça as soon as possible. The young midfielder had an exchange of world with the referee in a tone that Koeman considered inappropriate. The same happened to the ref, as he showed the playmaker the yellow card afterwards.

Specialists from the Catalan press have revealed that the relationship between Puig and Koeman is not the best one and that the trainer has already criticized him in front of all his companions on the locker room. At the start of the season, he told the midfielder to find a club, but after the pressure received, he accepted his permanence.

Riqui has played nine matches so far this season, entering most games from the bench. In those, he scored no goals and gave no assists. Barça fans considered him a very good player and think that he has the club’s DNA, the reason why he could be the successor of Andrés Iniesta in a couple of years. In the dispute, Koeman wants him out and will battle for that to happen.
