Leeds United have a massive decision to make on Junior Firpo’s future in the coming weeks.
This decision so far is pointing the way to an exit with Firpo’s destiny potentially already confirmed.
It’s suspected that Firpo is ‘leaning towards’ a Leeds exit, and this won’t come as a surprise to fans.
His future has been juggled ever since the final few weeks of the season, with plenty of rumours going around.
On the other hand, there is a possibility that Firpo stays, but after recent news at Leeds, the latter should be suggested.
Leeds United looking at Alex Moreno as Junior Firpo replacement
It’s become clear that Alex Moreno is the option the Whites will go for if the Firpo rumours are believed to be true.
The Aston Villa left-back has recently popped up on Daniel Farke’s radar, with Moreno in contact with Leeds.
A £5m fee has been stated for Moreno in what could be a bargain after showing impressive glimmers on loan at Nottingham Forest last campaign.
But something has been made even clearer that proves that Firpo’s future is only ending one way.

Moreno is an option for Real Betis as Firpo’s Leeds future set in stone
With the Whites hoping to land the Spaniard for just £5m, it will be an inspired purchase in terms of spending sensibly with their £100m budget.
The 32-year-old has Premier League experience, which fits the bill for Farke’s side as a theme has appeared with targets this summer.
However, it has been previously revealed that along with Firpo being linked to Real Betis, the Spanish side also have Moreno on their list.
This ultimately means that with Leeds going for a move for Moreno, Firpo will almost certainly leave and join Betis in which seemed like the most likely outcome, especially if Moreno goes off their radar.
Adding to this, Firpo has recently talked to Betis, and it seems that the only destination for the Leeds left-back is a return to Spain.
Moreno will still be in the picture for now, but with Leeds’ interest, this saga might finally be coming to an end.
