AC Milan is looking for a left-back that would alternate with Theo Hernandez who is the untouchable starter for Stefano Pioli's formation.
For weeks, the name of Barcelona's Spanish 24-year-old fullback, Junior Firpo, has been associated with a move to the San Siro.
However, it seems now that Premier League side Leeds, coached by Marcelo Bielsa, has overtaken the Rossoneri management in the race as they are close to securing his signature.
According to the details shared by Sport, barring surprises, Firpo will be a new Leeds United player.
The agreement between the three parties is well underway and in the next 24-48, it can all be materialised.
The source claims that the player likes the destination of Milan, but Leeds managed to convince the defender of joining them in the Premier League. As for Barcelona, they expect to collect fee that would be around 15 million euros for the sale.
