The AC Milan transfer market looks to the left, Barcelona’s Junior Firpo is one of the goals for next summer.
Vice Hernandez per Pioli. The left side is one of the market’s priorities Milan and one of the possible hits is Junior Firpo of Barcelona. Arrived in 2019 from Betis for 18 million euros, it was supposed to be the new Jordi Alba, but that didn’t happen.
Never really a starter in the first year, in this second season under the orders of Koeman he has only played seven times in the League and you are in Champions League. His sale therefore seems to be close and the Rossoneri could start the attack even if the Mundo Deportivo today explains that the agent father denies any interest coming from Milano.ù

Who is Junior Firpo, the full-back that Milan likes
Who is Junior Firpo? Very powerful defensive winger, he has a physique and speed rare for a soccer player. Born as a winger, he has developed an excellent offensive propensity as well as a decent foot, but he lacks a bit in the defensive phase. On this the Milan he will have to work if he buys it next summer.
His history in football began as a child when he moved from his birthplace at the age of 5 Santo Domingo to Spain. He loves baseball, like many Central American kids, but the ball field is the only opportunity to make friends in the new country. He plays reluctantly, he comes to hate this sport imposed by his parents and not by a real passion.
Tears flow every time he has to go to train, but keep playing. Then the turning point when he takes his first steps in Malagueno port. There many notice this guy with a strong athleticism, they are there Granada and Malaga on him, but eventually the Betis which becomes his springboard. The rest is recent history, the move to Barcelona and, most likely at 24, a new adventure, perhaps at Milan.
????⚫️ Club sources told MD that Junior Firpo has a good line-up in Serie A and that Stefano Pioli’s team (AC Milan) has called Camp Nou on some occasions
