Some Barcelona fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to speculation that Junior Firpo is on his way to Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United.
What’s the story?
Sport have reported today that Leeds, Barcelona and Junior are on the verge of reaching an agreement.
Premier League club Leeds will reportedly pay Spanish giants Barcelona €15 million (£12.87 million) in transfer fees for the 24-year-old left-back.
The transfer deal could be completed inside the next two days.
Leeds head coach Bielsa and Director of Football Victor Orta have played big roles in convincing Junior to move to Elland Road.
What are Barcelona fans saying?
As you can see from the tweets below, Barcelona fans actually seem to think highly of Firpo.
This might come as a surprise given that the left-back has not really made an impact at Camp Nou.
The Barcelona no.24 made three starts and four substitute appearances in La Liga last season.
The left-back scored one goal and gave one assist in those games.
Junior also made one start and five substitute appearances in the Champions League last season.
The left-back scored one goal and provided one assist in 11 La Liga starts for Barca in 2019-20.
The Spaniard made three starts and one substitute appearance in the Champions League in 2019-20.
