“Pretty high chance” – sealing January exit- Journalist now says £60k-p/w Leeds star could seal exit in January

Junior Firpo of Leeds United is excited to move on to new adventures when the winter transfer window opens at the beginning of the new year.According to transfer insider Dean Jones, there’s a growing chance the 27-year-old may fulfil his dream and depart Elland Road.Real Betis, a team in La Liga, has expressed interest in negotiating a loan agreement that would allow Firpo to return to his home environment.

Leeds United’s Junior Firpo is a sensation on Elland Road, and transfer source Dean Jones explains why manager Daniel Farke is willing to let him go. Firpo has a “fairly high chance” of leaving the team next month.

The left-back was one of the players who stayed in Yorkshire over the deadline, despite the fact that the Whites lost a lot of important players after their Premier League relegation, with about £30 million being recovered through sales during the summer window.

Firpo has won the title twice during his Norwich City reign, so he is in the running for an instant return to the top flight as Farke looks for a third promotion from the Championship. However, there is talk that Firpo is nearing the end of his Leeds career.

Firpo eager to end Leeds spell amid La Liga interest

After being denied consistent playing time since the season began, Firpo is eager to take on a new challenge when the winter window opens for business at the beginning of the year, as reported by the French media outlet Foot Mercato.

The 27-year-old, whose chances of making an impact for Farke early in his stewardship were hindered by a knee ligament injury, has only been limited to 116 minutes of action. The report suggests that his former employers Real Betis are eager to offer a way out of Elland Road by putting a loan proposal on the table for the player.

After signing a £13 million deal to join Leeds from Barcelona over two and a half years ago, Firpo would be reunited with a former teammate at the Benito Villamarin Stadium. A few months prior, the La Liga squad had also raided Yorkshire.

This is due to an arrangement signed in the summer to bring Marc Roca, who made 36 appearances across all competitions as the Whites failed to retain their first tier status last season, on loan for the upcoming campaign by Betis’ former West Ham United and Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini.

Although Firpo would be eager to be back to his familiar surroundings in the upcoming weeks, Leeds does not necessarily have to give in to his requests because when the winter window opens, he will still have 18 months left on his £60,000-per-week contract.

Dean Jones update – Junior Firpo

Given his increasing likelihood of leaving Leeds during the rapidly approaching January transfer window if he is keen to rejoin Betis, Jones thinks there’s a good chance Firpo’s time at the club is running out.

The reputable journalist acknowledges that since making his professional debut in English football, he has fallen short of expectations, despite his initial high hopes for the full-back to be a remarkable addition for the Whites.

Jones had said that:

“If Leeds can get a good offer for Firpo, there’s a good probability he’ll depart the team in January. I think it makes sense if they want to make a quick money if the thought of returning to Betis has him completely sold.

“To be honest, when he originally joined Leeds, I thought it was a good deal, but that was more based on what I had seen at Betis than Barcelona.

“The outcome hasn’t been as good as anticipated. No one can dispute that. I believe that in retrospect, Barcelona is understanding that they were correct to allow him to go because he isn’t even capable of living up to the standards of Elland Road, much less the Nou.

Leeds in hunt for Brereton Diaz

Ben Brereton Diaz is a long-term goal for Leeds, and a move to Elland Road is something to monitor as he has struggled to make the grade at Villarreal, according to reputable reporter Ben Jacobs.

Several Premier League and Championship clubs have been placed on red alert as they finish their preparations for the January window, as the Yellow Submarines are willing to send the Chile international out on loan for the second half of the season, according to TEAMtalk.

Only a few months after signing a four-year contract with Villarreal, the report claims that Burnley and Crystal Palace are willing to give Brereton Diaz a taste of top division action. Leicester City, Southampton, and West Bromwich Albion are reportedly also keeping an eye on his position.

Joel Piroe, a striker for Leeds United, has faced some criticism in his early Elland Road career.When his Blackburn Rovers contract expired in the summer, Leeds, Newcastle United, Everton and West Ham were unable to forfeit a £15 million fee for the attacker. As a result, the forward’s present employers were able to take advantage of the situation.

Insider transfer Jones previously revealed that former Whites manager Jesse Marsch was eager to sign Brereton Diaz last year, but Leeds thought about trying to entice him to Yorkshire during the 2022 summer window. However, Diaz’s price tag proved to be a significant roadblock.
