Junior Firpo is on the exit ramp, reports Thursday’s edition of Sport.
The story leads with interest from Napoli, although it’s Barcelona’s general stance on the matter which is the crucial part.
So far this season, the 24-year-old left back has been in Barcelona’s starting eleven for La Liga just 7% of the time. He has around 800 minutes across all competitions and things haven’t been looking brighter for him as the season has gone on.
Sport explain the player is not part of Koeman’s plans at Barcelona and the club is looking for a replacement. As well as trying to find a player to come in, Barca are keen to match Junior Firpo with a suitor.
Napoli want a two year loan, with an option to buy. Unsurprisingly, Barcelona aren’t so keen on such a plan and would rather go for a straight cash option.
As far as Sport have it, the fullback’s market value is €20m, and it’s claimed there’s several clubs in the Premier League, unnamed in this report, who could take him in the summer.
