Atalanta interested in taking Junior Firpo on loan (reliability: 3 stars)
  • Atalanta are interested in landing Barcelona's left-back Junior Firpo on loan after selling Timothy Castagne to Leicester City, Tuttomercatoweb reports.
  • The Bergamese could land the 23-year-old on loan for €2m and his deal would also include a buy option for €18m plus €5m in variables.
  • The Spaniard is unlikely to get much action this season, with Ronald Koeman clearly preferring Jordi Alba, as shown during the friendlies.
  • If Firpo was to leave, it's expected that Juan Miranda would take up the role of Alba's back-up at left-back.
  • Junior arrived from Real Betis for €18m but failed to become a regular and provide some competition for Alba.
  • In total, he has managed just one goal in 23 matches for the Catalan giants in his debut season.
