Barcelona Reopen Talks To Sign €30m Rated Liverpool Target

Spanish La Liga champions Barcelona have reopened talks for Real Betis defender Junior Firpo according to the latest media reports in Spain.

The Catalan giants want to sign a left-back competition for first choice Jordi Alba.

According to Spanish media outlet Mundo Deportivo, the five-time European champions have reopened talks for Junior Firpo who’s rated at around €30m.

The Real Betis left-back has also been linked with Champions League holders Liverpool.

The Reds are in the market for a left-back replacement for Alberto Moreno who left the club this summer after his contract at Liverpool came to an end.

Alberto Moreno signed a five-year contract upon his transfer from Spanish La Liga club Sevilla in 2014 and that contract ended this summer.

The 26-year-old has since joined another Spanish outfit Villarreal this summer on a free transfer.

Junior Firpo had a very good season for Real Betis in the last campaign and his best game was against Barcelona.

He scored and also provided an assist as Barcelona stunned Real Betis 4-3 at the Nou Camp in one of their league meetings last season.

Junior Firpo was recently part of the Spanish u-21 team that won the European Championship in Italy and San Marino.
