Junior Firpo Edging Closer to Barcelona Move as Bargain Deal Agreed With Real Betis

Junior Firpo is on the verge on completing an imminent move to Barcelona after the Spanish champions and Real Betis agreed on a €27m deal.

With Marc Cucurella being sent out on loan to Getafe, Ernesto Valverde has been left with Jordi Alba as the club's only recognised left-back, but it now appears they have found their man in the shape of the Spanish Under-21 star.

The move is now all-but assured according to Gianluca Di Marzio as Firpo, who shone for his country at the Under-21's European Championships will come in to add immediate cover for Alba.
