Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino's presence at the Barcelona B-Cornella fixture was somewhat of a surprise, yet the Catalan side remain calm amidst significant interest of the London clunb in their wonder kid Riqui Puig. Abel Ruiz and Carles Perez scored the decisive goals in a 2-1 victory, yet it's been assumed that it was actually Puig whom the Argentine coach was in attendance to watch.
Tottenham Hotspur endured a difficult summer transfer window in which not one single player was signed by the club, and the continued delays with regards to moving into their new stadium has hardly helped the mood around the North London club. The Sun has suggested that Pochettino hopes to sign Puig, one of the undoubted stars of the Blaugrana academy.
This story has caused quite a panic amongst Los Cules supporters with the continued theme of the Bartomeu administration being talented young players leaving the club. Yet the Catalan giants remain calm due to the fact Puig signed a contract extension with the club which runs until June 2021, and there are two optional seasons on top of there.
There is an embedded buy-out clause of 100 million euros within the agreement which in theory should make any departure almost impossible, especially for a club under the financial constraints that Spurs may face due to the mounting costs of their reconstruction project.
A decision may well be taken on Puig's future in the summer, yet for the moment there is no cause to panic for the Spanish champions due to the fact the player can't really force his way out, Los Cules have acted early to secure their investment.
