Significant update emerges on future of influential Leeds United star News: The72 – Football League News
Leeds United are vying for promotion back to the Premier League at the second time of asking. The top two is the aim for LUFC after last year’s play-off final heartbreak.
Daniel Farke’s side sit top of the Championship table as it stands but Sheffield United and Burnley are in hot pursuit with just eight games left in the campaign.
Of course, on-pitch matters are the priority, but the relevant boardroom and club hierarchy figures have eyes on what the summer could hold at Elland Road.
Now, regardless of how the season ends, it is said that the chances of star left-back Junior Firpo staying at Leeds United are shrinking.
The 29-year-old’s future has been the subject of speculation for some time now but TEAMtalk has stated in a fresh report that the chances of Firpo leaving at the end of his contract are growing. The Whites ace sees his deal expire this summer and talks over a new deal are not progressing.
It is added that Real Betis are one of three La Liga sides in contact over a possible pre-contract deal for the LUFC ace. As previously said by Fabrizio Romano, it is confirmed he is being guided by new agents too.
