The LaLiga club will have the right to buy back the 22-year-old
and are entitled to 50% of the proceeds from a future sale of
the player. The transfer fee was not disclosed.
LA Galaxy added Puig would sign a 3-1/2-year contract until the
end of the 2025 MLS season once his visa is granted.
"Riqui is a very technical and well-educated player with
incredible experiences for his age. He will fit seamlessly into
our group and style of play," LA Galaxy coach Greg Vanney said.
The Barcelona youth product, who made 57 appearances and scored
two goals for the club, made his first team debut in 2018.
