Premier League clubs 'express interest in Riqui Puig'

Premier League clubs are reportedly monitoring Barcelona midfielder Riqui Puig ahead of this summer's transfer window.

The 20-year-old has made three first-team appearances for the Spanish champions this season but has largely turned out for the club's B team during the 2019-20 campaign.

Puig's current deal at Camp Nou will expire in the summer of 2021, and according to Sport, a host of clubs are currently keeping an eye on the midfielder's situation.

The report claims that Barca would be prepared to sanction a loan move ahead of the 2020-21 campaign even if the Spaniard signs a new contract.

Real Betis, Celta Vigo, Granada and Ajax have all been credited with an interest, but Premier League clubs are also allegedly exploring the possibility of a deal.

Puig has managed two goals and three assists in 21 league appearances for Barcelona B this season.
