United rivalling Liverpool in move to sign Firpo

After he was heavily linked with a move to join Liverpool, it has now emerged that Manchester United are also keen to sign Junior Firpo.

As reported by Marca, the Real Betis defender is a man in demand after a stunning season in La Liga.

Liverpool have been heavily linked with the player as they look for a back-up to Andy Robertson this summer.

Hoping to bring in a player that can rival the Scot, the Reds have set their sights on the Betis defender but will now face competition from United.

Marca’s report claims that Betis will allow the defender to move this summer, but only if the price is right.

The player has a €50 million release clause in his current contract, meaning either of his potential suitors will have to splash the cash in order to secure his services.

Firpo has caught the eye of teams around Europe are he scored three goals and recorded five assists from defence last season.
