Leeds United defender junior Furpo has linked his move away from the club at the end of the season.
The 28-year-old left back has been doing very well in Leeds this season, with him having four goals and 10 assists in his name.
Junior Furpo is someone in demand
According to a report from the Italian publication Corriere Dello Sport, players are on the radar of Lazio, AC Milan and Atletico Madrid. The defender agent reportedly offered him to Lazio, and his representative met with Lazio sports director Angelo Mariano Fabiani on Thursday.
It remains to be seen whether the three European clubs have decided to put their offers to players forward. He finished his contract in June and Leeds will be disappointed that he will lose a player of his quality on a free transfer. He was extremely important to them in the championship this season. It is still unclear whether Leeds will be able to properly replace him.
If you want to do well in the Premier League next season, you will need to improve your team during the summer transfer period. They want to establish themselves as regulars in the Premier League and need to be at their disposal by quality players.
Firpo needs a new challenge
Meanwhile, the 28-year-old has proven himself in Leeds this season, with him aiming to compete at a higher level than next year. The opportunity to join clubs such as Lazio, Atletico, Madrid, AC Milan is very appealing and it will be interesting to see where he ends. He aims to join an ambitious team that can compete for the trophy next season.
The 28-year-old is at the peak of his power, and it makes sense that he will take on new challenges at this stage of his career. He hopes to fight for the trophy and compete in European football as well.
Without a doubt, Leeds will compete at a higher level than this season, but they cannot offer FIRPO for European football.
