Barcelona’s Riqui Puig wanted by Mourinho at Roma - report

Riqui Puig’s situation at Barcelona has not gone unnoticed in Italy where Jose Mourinho has reportedly taken an interest in the youngster.

The midfielder has only managed four substitute appearances so far in 2021-22 and that situation looks unlikely to change while Ronald Koeman is in charge.

According to Diario Sport, Mourinho is thinking about trying to bring Puig to Roma in a bid to strengthen his title-chasing team.

Puig has so far shown no interest in leaving the Camp Nou to try his luck elsewhere or even go out on loan to try and get some regular playing time.
