Junior Firpo to help pay for Lautaro Martinez

The signing of Lautaro Martinez has become an absolute priority for Barcelona for the 2020-21 season.

The Argentine who plays for Inter Milan is the preferred choice by the Camp Nou outfit to take over from Luis Suarez, but the deal will be far from easy.

The financial difficulties of the club as well as the economic damage caused by the coronavirus make it very difficult to pay huge amounts of money for players.

Therefore, the club are thinking of selling a player to help pay for the transfer, like Vidal or Semedo.

Now it seems like Junior Firpo could be man sacrificed to make way for the Argentine.

According to 'Sport's front page this Monday, the left back is on the way out of the club and he is apparently very well liked by Inter.

Barca want to at least get back the 18 million euros they invested on him and they could use that money to help pay for the arrival of Lautaro.

It is worth remembering that Junior, signed to be the next Jordi Alba, has yet to stand out in his first year at the Camp Nou.

Up to now, the ex-Real Betis man has played 1198 minutes in 17 matches. Up to now, Junior has scored a goal and given an assist.
