How much Leeds United's Junior Firpo is set to earn at Real Betis revealed | OneFootball

Leeds United’s Junior Firpo is all but set to complete a summer switch to Real Betis.

Leeds United defender Junior Firpo is all but set to rejoin Real Betis this summer, with the Spaniard agreeing a three-year deal and earning €14 million from the length of his contract.

Despite playing a significant part in the Whites’ journey to return to the Premier League, Firpo has had his sights firmly set on a move away from the club, originally receiving offers from clubs in Italy and France.

However, native side Real Betis have come calling, and it appears a return to the Villamarin Stadium is what Firpo desires as he begins the next chapter of his career.

Leeds will have the difficult task of sourcing a replacement if his exit is rubber-stamped, with Firpo’s often rampant forward runs and creativity from wide areas seeing the 28-year-old record four goals and 10 assists in their title-winning campaign.

The Yorkshire outfit have seemingly been prepared for this scenario, with Daniel Farke’s men being linked with a swoop for Atlético Madrid defender Reinildo, as well as Aston Villa’s Alex Moreno, after the Spaniard spent the season on loan with Nottingham Forest.

Contact is rumoured to have taken place ahead of a potential move for Moreno, while Leeds have reportedly tabled an approach for the Mozambique international Reinildo, along with Forest and fellow-promoted Sunderland.

Junior Firpo, Real Betis contract details emerge ahead of Leeds United exit

As per a report by Mucho Deporte, Real Betis are working on finalising the transfer of Junior Firpo, with the signing due to be announced in the coming weeks.

The deal is believed to be in the final stage with parties sorting out the ‘fringes’ of the deal.

Meanwhile, El Dia have stated that the former Barcelona defender has agreed a three-year contract with Betis and is set to earn €14 million if he stays for the entirety of his deal.

The report also reveals that Betis plan to make Firpo’s transfer official when the Spaniard’s contract at Leeds officially expires, meaning the announcement could arrive on July 1st.

Leeds United will be disappointed by Junior Firpo outcome but will have to move on swiftly

The news that Junior Firpo doesn’t want to be a part of the Leeds United team in the Premier League will be disappointing, given the Spaniard was seemingly thriving under Daniel Farke and turning into a menacing attacking outlet when marauding down the left flank.

Nevertheless, preparation for the upcoming top-flight season will be imperative, and the Whites must not get swamped by the heartache of Firpo’s decision.

Other defenders will become available during the summer, and the particular addition of Reinildo could be exactly what Leeds need to make Firpo’s exit a distant memory.

Described as 'one of Europe's best left-backs', the 31-year-old’s experience of playing consistently in the Spanish top-flight could be crucial in Leeds’ quest to remain in the Premier League, and if Farke can get the best out of him, then he will surely develop into a fan favourite should the club stave off the hefty competition this summer.
