LOS ANGELES — The Galaxy, a team in need of a savior, have acquired one Thursday when they completed a deal for Barcelona midfielder Riqui Puig. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed but Puig is reportedly coming on a free transfer and is signed for 3 1/2 years. The Galaxy acquired Raveloson on a free transfer from French club Troyes last season but are getting a $1.78 million transfer fee for sending him back, according to the Athletic's Paul Tenorio. Puig fills a gaping hole in the center of a midfield that has produced little for the Galaxy this season. Puig is the second addition the Galaxy has made to their midfield in the last month, following Uruguayan midfielder Gaston Brugman.
