The midfielder wants to convince Ronald Koeman even though he is unlikely to get more minutes with the first team.
Porto is preparing to make a formal offer to sign Riqui Puig on a loan deal for the 2020-2021 campaign, local top source Record reveal.
The reigning Portuguese champions hope to convince the 21-year-old in the negotiations, offering him more playing time with the first-team than at Barcelona.
The club's coach Sergio Conceicao likes the promising midfielder and has sanctioned the whole operation.
Barcelona is open to the deal but Puig wants to stay at the Catalan club and fight for the place in the starting line-up.
However, Riqui hasn't been promoted to the first team yet while Ronald Koeman publicly advised him to leave on loan.
