Riqui Puig Appears To Mock Ferran Torres In Damning, Leaked Audio Clips


 

Riqui Puig appeared to make a dig at Ferran Torres, claiming Pep Guardiola didn't want him at Manchester City.

Leaked audio clips from February reveal Puig's thoughts on Torres' arrival at Barcelona following his move from Man City.

Joan Fontes has shared some voice clips, supposedly from the Barca midfielder's driving classes this year.

He made an eyebrow-raising comment regarding the transfer of Torres to Barca.

"Ferran Torres? Guardiola didn’t even want him. He played 12 matches last year," said Puig.

For Man City, Torres actually played less games last season than what Puig actually claims.

The Spanish forward made just seven appearances in all competitions last season, scoring three goals before moving to Barca in the January transfer window.

Torres featured more regularly at Barca, playing 26 games in all competitions - scoring seven goals.

Puig, meanwhile, has been the subject of intense transfer speculation, with reports linking him with a move away from the Camp Nou.

That's despite being touted as a big talent after starring for La Masia.

But he's struggled to make an impact at the club.

On his future, Puig revealed that he had offers from Chelsea and AC Milan.

"I had offers from Chelsea and Milan," he said. "I did not leave because I’m fine here at Barcelona. They pay you double the money, but you’re lonely there."

Puig also touched on the emotional departure of Lionel Messi, who left Barca for Paris Saint-Germain in 2021.

"It is normal that Messi reacts like that when leaving Barcelona. He was at the club since he was 14 years old."

Chloe Kelly leaves BBC viewers in hysterics after ditching mic mid-interview to join Lionesses for Sweet Caroline

Image
  Chloe Kelly left Euros viewers highly amused after she ditched a microphone mid-interview to go and join her team and belt out Sweet Caroline on the pitch following an epic win. England were celebrating winning their first major trophy since 1966 after beating Germany in the Euro 2022 final at Wembley. Chloe scored the second goal, sparking celebrations through the nation, as she followed Manchester United’s Ella Toone with England’s first goal. In an interview after the win, Chloe had been called to the side by a BBC presenter, but she didn’t stay long before (understandably) throwing her microphone down and running back to join her team. Before bursting into song, she’d looked around to the roaring stadium, saying: ‘Look at them! ‘It’s amazing, honestly! Thank you every single person that got out to support us. Chloe Kelly is every England fan right now 😂😂😂😂📲 📺 📻 Watch on @BBCOne and @BBCiPlayer. Listen on @BBCSounds.#BBCEuros #BBCFootball — BB...

Chelsea make late move for Crystal Palace star Wilfried Zaha

Image
Chelsea have revived their interest in Wilfried Zaha and are exploring a deal to sign the Crystal Palace forward before the transfer window closes. The Ivory Coast winger has been a target for Chelsea in the past but Palace’s asking price last summer was around £90m. Chelsea were unwilling to pay that much but Zaha has just a year left on his deal at Selhurst Park, which has weakened the Eagles’ hand. Patrick Vieira is desperate to keep Zaha but the club know his ambition is to play in the Champions League and this could be the club’s last chance to get big money for the winger. Chelsea had been negotiating a deal for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang but Barcelona are seeking around £30m for the 33-year-old. Thomas Tuchel wants to strengthen his attack following the departures of Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner.

Rival managers have been calling each other to talk about stopping Erling Haaland, he's that good

Image
  It has emerged that rival Premier League managers have been calling each other in a bid to try and stop in-form Manchester City striker Erling Haaland. The 22-year-old forward, who joined Pep Guardiola's side from Borussia Dortmund this summer in a deal worth £51 million, has already scored six goals in four league games this season. On Saturday afternoon, in their clash against Crystal Palace, the Norwegian bagged his first hat-trick for City as they came back from 2-0 down to win 4-2 at the Etihad. In the aftermath of that game, where Haaland's pace, power and composure in front of goal destroyed Palace's defensive line, a report from The Telegraph gave fans a fascinating insight into the striker's arrival. The 22-year-old forward has been described by one rival manager as "an alien" who is "stronger, taller and faster than anything we have seen before", according to the report. And such is his presence, rival managers have already been discussin...
