Michel, coach of Girona, has started planning his team's movements for the upcoming January transfer market with the aim of revitalizing the squad for the second half of the season. In this sense, the coach has put forward the name of Riqui Puig, the talented Catalan midfielder who plays for Los Angeles Galaxy and who, since his arrival in the MLS, has shown extraordinary performance.

Puig, former player of Barcelona, has been one of the stars of the American team, standing out for his ball skills, vision of the game, and ability to lead the team from the midfield. These attributes have sparked the interest of Michel, who believes that his addition could be crucial in taking Girona to a higher level in the game.

His high salary could pose a serious problem for Girona

However, the major obstacle for this operation is the player's salary. Currently, Riqui Puig earns around 2.5 million euros per season, a figure that is beyond Girona's reach. Nevertheless, the Girona club has not ruled out the operation and is considering the possibility of offering him a lower salary, supplemented with a series of bonuses that could come close to the amount he currently receives.

The signing of Puig could be a game-changer for Girona, which is looking to regain the level it showed last season. This season's start has been challenging in terms of gameplay and results due to the significant talent drain in the Catalan team. Nonetheless, Michel is confident that the arrival of Riqui Puig could be more than interesting.
