Following rumors from Spain that he could be moving to Real Betis this transfer window, Junior Firpo is undoubtedly packing his bags at Leeds United.
The left-back was one of Daniel Farke‘s most important players before his forced absence, which has kept him out of action for the past few weeks.
So far, he’s contributed to four goals across all competitions and, when fit, has more or less cemented his place in the Whites’ starting XI.
But since his Elland Road contract is set to expire at the end of the 2024–2025 season, speculation about his future has begun to circulate. The Spanish newspaper ABC Sevilla reported in its print edition on January 22 that the left-back is once again on the La Liga team’s shortlist before the winter window closes.
The 28-year-old Dominican Republic international is probably persuaded to return at some time by the fact that he began his career with Betis, particularly because he can leave Leeds for free.
Junior Firpo‘s departure from Leeds United now appears certain.
Even though the left-back is an important part of Farke‘s team this season, it seems like the defender might not be able to manage a move to the Premier League.
The defender was frequently at the heart of the West Yorkshire team’s issues during his most recent tenure in the top division, which was anything but ideal.
Max Wober and other players were suggested as potential replacements for the former Barcelona player before the 2024–25 season even began.
Even though Firpo would be able to leave Elland Road for free at the conclusion of the season, it feels like his departure is closer than ever now that Betis has intensified their pursuit of him once more.
At this point, it seems like he has one foot out the door, but only time will tell what both sides decide to do.
In other Leeds news, following his actions on Tuesday, a Whites loanee has been likened to Wayne Rooney.
