Leeds United defender Junior Firpo is expected to quit the football club if they fail to gain promotion to the Premier League this season, sources have told Football Insider.
Speaking on the latest edition ofFootball Insider’s Inside Track podcast, senior correspondent Pete O’Rourke revealed that the 28-year-old is “on quite a decent deal at the minute.”
The left-back is out of contract at Elland Road next summer, meaning he could depart the Yorkshire giants on a free transfer after this season is done.
Well-placed sources have told Football Insider that left-back is an area that Daniel Farke wants to strengthen, which could be a sign of him pre-planning for the future.
Firpo is not expected to sign a new contract if Leeds fail to get back to the English top flight this season, which is a situation the club are having to handle.
Farke’s side are currently third in the Championship table after the opening 18 fixtures, having only lost three times.Junior Firpo’s Leeds United future is up in the air
