Staying at Barcelona for the season, Junior Firpo had a campaign to forget with the Nou Camp side, as he only made a measly 18 appearances across all competitions.
Scoring one goal and providing one assist, the 24-year-old was a backup at best for Ronald Koeman, and there is a dire need for him to find a new club to avoid his progress from stagnating.
One club who are ready to offer him more minutes going forward are Southampton, as reported by ESPN.
It’s said Southampton ‘see him as a possible candidate to replace Ryan Bertrand’, who will leave St Mary’s when his contract expires.
So far, the English side ‘have only made a first approach to find out about his availability’, and the ‘most logical’ outcome is that Firpo ‘abandons’ Barcelona this upcoming transfer window to relaunch his career elsewhere.
