Little used by Ronald Koeman since the start of the season, the left-back Junior Firpo (24 years old, 4 appearances in La Liga this season) finds himself pushed towards the exit by FC Barcelona, who “granted” him an exit voucher for this. winter transfer window. According to Mundo Deportivo, his possible replacement has already been identified.
This will not surprise you, Barça does not intend to go crazy to find an understudy for Jordi Alba, holder of the post. According to the Barcelona daily, the management would thus integrate the young Alejandro Balde (17), currently replacing in reserve, into the workforce of the first team. A lower cost solution, but quite promising according to the various echoes of La Masia, the Blaugrana training center.
As a reminder, Firpo has a few touches in the Premier League (see here), but the € 22m claimed by Barça could complicate his eventual transfer.
