Betis, possible destination for Riqui Puig and Mingueza

Riqui Puig and Oscar Mingueza are among the players who have not managed to win an undisputed place in Xavi Hernandez's squad. This puts them close to leaving the club in the summer and Joan Laporta is struggling with a delicate economic situation, so selling them could help him. According to 'Estadio Deportivo', Real Betis are interested in both of them.

Manuel Pellegrini's team has taken a significant step forward this season in terms of status. They are the Copa del Rey champions and have fought until the end of the campaign for a Champions League place. This did not happen because Sevilla picked up a point away to Atletico Madrid on one of the last matchday.

Even so, signing for the Andalusian team could be a commitment to an exciting club from the point of view of the two 'Cules'. An agreement between the parties remains to be finalised, which will depend on convincing Barça's board with a sufficient financial proposal, which will not have to be too high.

Mingueza's market value is 6.7 million euros. Riqui Puig's is 3.6 million euros. They both finish their contracts in the summer of next year, so Real Betis could play with this to negotiate a reduction in their price and get them. Barcelona, for their part, would prevent them from leaving in the 22-23 season for free.
