Junior Firpo close to leaving Barcelona for Leeds United - report

Junior Firpo looks to be finally closing in on an exit from Barcelona and could be heading to the Premier League and Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United.

Sport reckon Leeds have “convinced” Firpo to head to Elland Road and a transfer could even be sealed “within the next 48 hours.”

The report adds that Barcelona hope to “make around €15 million on the transfer.” Firpo was keen on a move to Italy but AC Milan only offered a loan.

ESPN are also reporting that Leeds “are leading the race” to sign Junior and say the former Real Betis man “is keen” on joining the Premier League side.
