Junior Firpo is hot property across Europe at the moment.
Currently impressing with Real Betis, it looks like it could be time for the Liverpool-linked defender to take on a new challenge.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Barcelona have agreed to a deal with Real Betis. With Jordi Alba ageing, Firpo is seen as the right successor.

The player has previously been linked with moves to Anfield. According to Mucho Deporte, as cited by the Liverpool Echo, Firpo was a target for the Reds as they considered signing potential competition for Andy Robertson.
Firpo plays in numerous positions and if he were to join the current European Champions, he could provide competition for Robertson or even act as an understudy to someone like Sadio Mane in a more advanced position.
If the Spanish international does not join, it will give a huge confidence boost for the likes of Adam Lewis and Yasser Larouci to be Robertson’s understudy.
