Can he still cut it at a smaller LL club?
Maybe some bottom half and relegation threatened teams?

His ceiling is probably the career of players like Rafinha and Denis Suarez. Doubt he'll get a chance at clubs like PSG/Arsenal though, so minus that.

Yeah. Can play for clubs like Celta, Getafe. Conference league is his ceiling.
What's his style of play? Pedri, Iniesta role?

He still hasn't had the opportunity to show his potential since he can't tiki taka with his teammates the way he'd be able to with Messi, Busi, Fati, Alba, etc. Still nice to see him play very direct and fearless in passing. Xavi has most Barca starters caged like red panda so he just plays safe and wide to abdenkey or donkey and has me falling asleep every match around 75 min.
If Messi brings him to Miami, they'll obliterate everyone. I hope it happens even if the blowouts get ridiculously embarrassing.

If Puig is that good, why didn't he go somewhere else in the top 5 European leagues and prove himself.
These days if you have one good season for a mid-small club, big clubs give you an opportunity.

The latter but this is BS. Loyalty for the club he was wronged by?

I believe he has sort of settled into the lower tempo etc of the MLS, this is something that happens to most players, they play at the level of their team and their opponents. A big move is not in the cards for him now, but I am confident he would perform well in any team.
I believe your joy here looks unflattering for you.

What a nice video of this brilliant player linked here by Iniesta Ultra.
Yeah, I stand by the comment I made earlier, that it was a crime against humanity by Koeman not letting Puig play more together with Busquets, Messi and Alba. Imagine the luck for all football fans if Club Internacional de Futbol Miami (MMXX) made it possible to see these players together, again!

Quality back-to-goal finishing yesterday, perfectly executed after some nice pass-and-move interplay with Douglas Costa. Very few players are able to release the ball so quickly and accurately in that situation. Quick turn, no backlift, hit the gap before the defense has a chance to close it down.
These stylish moments of brilliance are why fans love to watch Puig play.
