Barcelona are reportedly closing in on a move for Real Betis full-back Junior Firpo, according to multiple reports.
ESPN report that Barcelona are “increasingly confident” of landing the 22-year-old and want the deal all sewn up before they fly out to the United States on Monday.
They reckon that Betis are willing to sell Firpo for €25 million, the only problem is that Barcelona are yet to offer more than €20 million.
Sport have a similar story regarding Firpo. They reckon the reason Barcelona are reticent about spending big on the youngster is because he will essentially be back-up to Jordi Alba.
