LA TimesBarcelona’s Riqui Puig, left, fights for the ball with Getafe’s Djene Dakonam on May 15. The Galaxy, a team in need of a savior, might have acquired one Thursday when they completed a deal for Barcelona midfielder Riqui Puig. To clear space under the MLS salary cap and to open an international roster spot for Puig, the Galaxy shipped midfielder Rayan Raveloson to Auxerre in France’s Ligue 1, saving $855,000 in TAM. 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 made 18 appearances in all competition last season, Barcelona’s first under manager Xavier Hernández, but he didn’t figure in the team’s plans for this season.
