Riqui Puig, Mingueza and Nico could be used to cheapen the transfer of Ruben Neves

Ruben Neves is a candidate for Xavi Hernandez's Barcelona, but he has a contract until 2024 and a high market value, so getting hold of him will not be easy. To solve this, Joan Laporta's board could resort to the sale of Riqui Puig, Oscar Mingueza or Nico. This is what appears published in 'Birmingham Mail'.

The departures of Puig and Mingueza would not cause many problems in the line-ups of the Barcelona team. They are not key players and, in fact, the former has contrasted greatly with other teammates of the same style of play who have earned a place in the elite -Pedri, Gavi...-.

It is more striking that Nico appears in this equation, as he has had plenty of opportunities. Even so, the place in the 'culé' midfield is not infinite and it would make some sense that the Camp Nou offices try to lighten their coach's squad to make his decisions easier for the coming season.

It remains to be seen how much money Wolves could deduct from the hypothetical sale of Ruben Neves. The media outlet mentioned in the first paragraph warns that the club's directors do not intend to let him leave easily. They are aware of his quality and the importance he has treasured for years in the squad.
