Barcelona Still Trying to Recruit Junior Firpo

DBasia.news –  Junior Firpo, Real Betis wing-back, entered Barcelona’s transfer radar. The Catalunya club is still trying to complete the transfer.

Junior Firpo is a Real Betis academy dropout. At just 22 years old, Firpo has penetrated the first team. Last season, the player appeared in 29 matches with a score of three goals plus five assists.

Junior Firpo is increasingly tempting because he can not only play at the left-back position. Firpo several times also showed a brilliant performance when it was shifted to the left-wing. The player has slick individual movements and accurate bait.

Not surprisingly, Barcelona caught up with the player of the Spanish Under-21 national team. Italian vice-president Fabrizio Romano said that Barcelona was entering a serious stage in negotiations.

Based on the news that blew, Firpo had a release clause worth 50 million euros in his contract. However, Barcelona is believed to be starting to bid 27 million euros.

Barcelona wants to make Junior Firpo a competitor for Jordi Alba. In addition, Firpo is considered to be developing into a great left-back in the future.

Besides Barcelona, Junior Firpo also attracted Liverpool. Firpo was prepared to coat Andy Robertson on the defense left post. Moreover, the Reds have lost Alberto Moreno in that position.

At present, Barcelona are still superior to Liverpool. Barca are expected to get the player as long as they can fulfill the request submitted by Real Betis.
