Turns out Firpo will stay at Barcelona
Junior Firpo has struggled to make his mark at Camp Nou following his €18m arrival from Real Betis in 2019. In fact, he’s only made two starts across his nine appearances in all competitions this season.
The 24-year-old was expected to follow Carles Alena, who joined Getafe on loan, out of the club in January. But Barcelona have called off a potential exit due to a lack of cover for Jordi Alba in the left-back position. [Marca]

Nuno Espirito Santo reportedly listed Chelsea’s Olivier Giroud and Liverpool’s Divock Origi as transfer targets. The Wolves manager is short on options to cover for the injured Raul Jimenez. But he’s been told to forget about any big-money signings.
Wolves have instead recalled Patrick Cutrone from his loan spell at Italian side Fiorentina to help fill the void. [Mirror]
