AC Milan 'ready to move for Junior Firpo this summer'

Barcelona defender Junior Firpo is reportedly a summer transfer target for AC Milan.

The 24-year-old has made 17 appearances for the Catalan giants during the 2020-21 campaign but just six of those have come in La Liga, with Jordi Alba still the club's first-choice left-back.

Firpo has a contract at Camp Nou until June 2024, but he was strongly linked with a move away from Camp Nou last summer and again in January.

According to Calciomercato, Milan want to sign competition for Theo Hernandez during this summer's transfer window and have identified the Barca defender as a leading target.

The report, though, claims that Napoli are also interested in the full-back, who could be available for a fee in the region of €15m (£12.9m).

Firpo has scored twice and provided three assists in 40 appearances for Barca since joining the La Liga giants from Real Betis in August 2019.
