On Tuesday, Estadio Deportivo reported Real Betis have made an offer to Leeds United’s Junior Firpo to sign him on a free transfer this summer.
They also stated the Whites have offered him an offer to extend his contract beyond June 30th.
Later that day, Diario de Sevilla said the La Liga club accelerated their efforts after holding talks with the Leeds player and his entourage at the weekend.
A fresh report from Diario de Sevilla reports the 28-year-old is ‘very close’ to returning to a club where he spent five years between 2014 and 2019.
Manuel Pellegrini’s side are working on signing a new left-back and Junior Firpo is now the most advanced option.
There’s nothing definitive yet, but Los Verdiblancos seem to be ‘close to a resolution’ for several reasons.
Several sources have informed the newspaper that the ‘talks are quite advanced’.
The Dominican Republic international will make a significant financial effort to return to Real Betis. In other words, he’s ready to take a pay cut or snub better offers to join them.
Diario de Sevilla state the defender is ‘eager for a definitive agreement to be reached’ and what’s pending now is for his agent and Real Betis to ‘balance the figures’.
