Newcastle would also be on the lookout.

However, he never succeeded in establishing himself under the orders of Christophe Galtierto the point of being pushed to leave during the 2023 summer transfer window. And while he had refused to be included in the deal for the transfer of Randal Kolo Muani, Hugo Riding had thus been left aside by Luis Enrique during the first part of the season.
