Two days ago, we covered claims made in Spain that ‘there are offers’ for Barcelona’s Juniro Firpo from West Ham United and Southampton.
Leeds United have joined the two Premier League sides and other clubs in the chase for the left-back, according to Catalunya Ràdio, as relayed by Mundo Deportivo.
The La Liga side received an offer from Celta Vigo, but the 24-year-old’s representatives have made it clear the player doesn’t want to continue in Spain.
This has been communicated to the Spanish club, and at the same time, the player’s agent also let Barca ‘know the interest’ from Marcelo Bielsa’s side.
Junior, for his part, will not see a move to Elland Road with bad eyes.
The outlet again mentions Hammers and Southampton interest, along with AC Milan, Fiorentina and Napoli.
There’s been talks between Milan and Barca for Junior, and they initially wanted to take him on a loan deal.
Mundo now add the Rossoneri could accept a compulsory purchase option, and if Barca accept the San Siro club’s offer, it could give Milan an edge over Leeds United and other suitors to sign the former Real Betis man.
