MAN UTD CONTACT BETIS OVER DEAL FOR JUNIOR FIRPO

Manchester United are ready to spring a transfer surprise and seal a deal for Real Betis full-back Junior Firpo, according to reports in Spain.

The Spain Under-21 international has seen his stock rise on the back of an excellent season in LaLiga and was, at the back end of last week, tipped as a target for Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool.

But Monday’s Marca claims it is United who are ready to strike with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer keen to strengthen both full-back options this summer. A deal for Crystal Palace’s Aaron Wan-Bissaka is also reportedly close.

The report claims United have held initial talks with Betis over a potential deal and are willing to meet the €50m exit clause that exists in his deal – leaving Betis powerless

LaLiga champions Barcelona are also reported to be keen on Firpo and apparently see him as a long term successor to Jordi Alba.

United are also reportedly mulling over a swoop for his Betis teammate Giovani Lo Celso.

The playmaker is also on the radar of Tottenham, but it is claimed United have also told Betis they are willing to meet the €75m buyout clause in the Argentinian’s deal.

However, any deal for Lo Celso will depend on their efforts to sign Bruno Fernandes, with the Portuguese star said to be their preferred midfield target.
