Over the past two weeks or so, several claims from Italy have reported on AC Milan’s interest in Leeds United’s Junior Firpo.
On Wednesday, Tuttosport and Corriere dello Sport stated the Serie A side are seriously considering signing the left-back this summer.
On Monday, Corriere della Sera reported the Leeds player is one of the options to replace Theo Hernández. They also stated there are no doubts that the latter is set to leave the San Siro.
Milan have to be wary of Lyon in the race to sign the 28-year-old. That’s because Foot Mercato report the Ligue 1 club are ‘in pole position’.
Junior Firpo was an integral part of Daniel Farke’s squad that helped the Whites secure promotion to the Premier League. He has less than a month left on his contract and his future needs to be resolved.
Nicolás Tagliafico is expected to leave Lyon when his contract expires on June 30th. They need to find a replacement and have identified the Leeds man as their priority target.
According to Foot Mercato, the Rossoneri are ‘pushing to sign’ the Dominican Republic international but have to sell first before making advances.
