Farke boosted as £13m player makes Leeds return pledge and give his all to Whites
The news that Junior Firpo, a former player for Barcelona, is getting close to being fully recovered and might soon play again has helped Leeds United.
After being demoted from the Premier League, Leeds had a hectic summer as Farke set about completely overhauling the team.
Since many members of their squad had relegation release clauses in their contracts that permitted them to leave on loan, Leeds was unable to stop departures this summer.
Although many notable players have left, Leeds managed to successfully navigate a challenging summer transfer window. They looked into the loan and free agency markets, made some interesting new player investments, and more.
Firpo was one of the players that was anticipated to leave this summer, but the club eventually received no bids that were acceptable. Although a sale appeared more than likely in June, it ultimately didn’t happen.
Firpo has fallen short of expectations after moving from Barcelona in 2021 for a sum of about £13 million. The 27-year-old has had trouble maintaining any consistency in a Leeds jersey due to injuries.
Due to a knee injury, the defender missed the start of the new Championship season.
The defender told Momento Deportivo, “Right now I feel really good, I have almost fully recovered from my last injury, and I really want to play with the club again.
After receiving proposals, Leeds United CEO maintains that the foursome is worth £80 million.
Can Firpo persuade the Leeds supporters?
The defender appears eager to play again, and Leeds supporters will be hoping to see more of the 27-year-old this year..
A guy like Firpo might find the move to the Championship advantageous as he attempts to win over the Elland Road faithful. The defender played 1,368 minutes and made just 14 starts in league games last year.
Farke has a strong track record of producing full-backs, and he may be able to help Firpo reach his full potential.
The fact that the German manager attempted to sign Max Aarons before Bournemouth sabotaged the deal is well known. Instead, Leeds loaned out Djed Spence, who will contend with Luke Ayling for the right-back position.

In order to restart his Leeds career, Firpo will be focused on passing Byram in the pecking order. The Spanish defender’s contract is valid until 2025, and it appears that this might be his last opportunity to succeed at Elland Road.
