Real Madrid eye Junior Firpo
Real Madrid are looking to sign a long-term replacement for Marcelo and have made a list of players according to reports. AS report that Los Blancos are ready to activate Junior Firpo's release clause and secure his signing.
The Real Betis defender has a release clause of €50 million and Florentino Perez is keen on signing him. However, Betis are looking to get him tied down to a new contract and his release clause is bound to increase.
Moreover, Madrid are not the only side interested in signing the Spanish full-back. The Mirror claim that Pep Guardiola is also keeping an eye on him and is keen on getting him as a backup for Benjamin Mendy.
Mendy has been injured for 70% of the time ever since he joined from AS Monaco last season and the Cityzens have had to play make-shift left-backs for a long time. Guardiola wants a solid option on the left flank and is keen on Firpo.
