Barcelona target discusses transfer plans amid Liverpool and Manchester United speculation

Real Betis player Junior Firpo has long been linked with Liverpool, Manchester United and Barcelona. But the left-back has admitted he is flattered to be linked with the Catalan giants. "I'm not unsettled," Junior told Mundo Deportivo . "That news is coming out and the truth is that it is a compliment and a source of pride to be linked to important clubs such as Barcelona . But I am focused on Betis because it is my club and I also have huge gratitude because they have given me everything. "I think it's a sign that I'm doing things right. I think I'm in a great club and in a great team and that has helped me a lot. Last season we had an inconsistent campaign but we had great victories in the league, we were close to reaching the Copa del Rey final and we played in European competition. It went well for me and therefore that has helped me. But I insist, I am focused on Betis because that is precisely what has made me get here." Firpo made 29 appearances for Betis last season, and has made 43 first team appearances since his debut - and would cost around £24million. He is under contract until 2023.
