From it does months is speaking of the possibility that Junior Firpo can go out in the market of signings​ of winter. The left-handed side is not having too many minutes with Ronald Koeman and in the club would be opened to that went yielded or traspasado. Nevertheless, until this occur, if it is that it occurs, the player follows belonging to the discipline culé, by what could have opportunities if the technician estimated it timely.

This opportunity, in fact, could arrive this same Tuesday by fault of the sanction of Jordi Alba. The one of L'Hospitalet de Llobregat saw his fifth yellow against the Valladolid and will be drop in front of the Eibar. This does that the one of the Dominican Republic have a lot of options to play in front of the armeros, since it is the only carrilero of the first staff that finds available in these moments.

In normal conditions, if there were not injuries, is very likely that Koeman changed of band to Sergiño Dest and planted to Sergi Roberto in the right. This was what did in several meetings to principle of season, showing of this way that Firpo is his last alternative for the left-handed side. But this Tuesday will not remain him more remedy that have he, unless it have some canterano or do important retouchings in his defence.

By the moment, the Hispanic-dominican only has played 246 minutes delivered in 7 commitments. The ex of the Real Betis has contested 5 of the 6 duels of Champions League of the Barça and 2 of League, with only a titularity in League of Champions. Therefore, to confirm his presence in front of the Eibar, would be the first time this course that goes out of start in the championship Spanish suspender belt.

It will be necessary to see what decides Koeman, but would surprise a lot that it did not have Firpo for this duel. If it does not happen at all odd, the ex of the Real Betis will have minutes to show that it deserves to remain and that is qualified to be more important of what has been up to now. His speed in career will be his main weapon, although it could suffer in exit of balloon by fault of the pressure of the Eibar, one of the best of all LaLiga.

The Barça needs to recess mass salarial

Nevertheless, the normal is that the Barça follow negotiating by Junior próximamente, unless the Dutch technician decide to give course backwards and closing the door to his exit. The culés are happening serious economic difficulties and need traspasar or yield to any or to varied of his footballers. Recess mass salarial is a priority and therefore it will go on speaking of the possible course of the carrilero.
