Junior Firpo to leave Leeds United

The man in question is defender Junior Firpo, who has interest from England.

EFL Analysis have spoken exclusively to transfer expert Graeme Bailey for an update on the full-back.

He told us: “Firpo’s going definitely… he’s on a huge contract and while he had a good Championship season, did he warrant what he was on?

“A really big deal made it almost impossible for him to stay really, especially going back up to the Premier League.

“He’s going back to Spain. He’s got offers in England, but it looks like he’s going back to Spain. He even had Barcelona possibly interested.

“He could have gone back as a reserve left-back. It sounds silly, but obviously, as a homegrown Spanish player, it could have worked. I think he will go to Real Betis, but he’s got options, and he’s definitely leaving.”

Firpo made the move to Elland Road from FC Barcelona in the summer of 2021.

His contract will run out on June 30, 2025, with the defender thought to be currently taking home £60,000-a-week.
