On June 9, 2025, Estadio Deportivo shared that Betis officially reached out to Firpo by contacting his agency in the past few days. This followed earlier talks about their interest, as Betis wants to improve their left-back position.
Firpo is in advanced talks with Olympique de Lyon, and their offer is said to be better than Betis’s in terms of money. Junior Firpo is set to move to Real Betis, with a three-year contract reportedly signed online, and the official announcement is expected soon.
Junior Firpo mainly plays as a left-back but can also play as a striker. He was born on August 22, 1996, in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, and moved to Spain when he was six years old, holding dual citizenship. Currently, he plays for Leeds United, having signed with them on July 6, 2021, for four years. His contract with Leeds ends on June 30, 2025, which means he can start talking to other clubs as a free agent.
