Junior Firpo reacts to Lamine Yamal’s post amid Leeds United uncertainty
Junior Firpo has reacted to a post made by Barcelona star Lamine Yamal amid uncertainty surrounding his Leeds United future.
Firpo played a vital role as Leeds won the Championship title, notching 10 assists and four goals in the second tier.
The former Barcelona man previously suffered relegation from the Premier League with the Whites in 2023, but redeemed himself with impressive displays in the Championship.
Firpo’s most recent goal contribution for Leeds arrived on 28 April, when the West Yorkshire side thrashed Bristol City 4-0.

Boss Daniel Farke faces a vital transfer window as he looks to ready the Whites for Premier League survival.
But the German will also have to cope with player exits this summer, and Football Insider have exclusively revealed that Firpo is likely to leave Leeds on a free transfer.
Meanwhile, the 28-year-old liked an Instagram post made by Barcelona talisman Yamal on Wednesday, 11 June.
Football Insider verdict
Kostas Tsimikas could be a great replacement for Junior Firpo
While questions may surround Firpo’s Premier League credentials following the 28-year-old’s previous performances in the English top flight, there is no doubt that Farke must find an adequate replacement for the Dominican Republic international.

Football Insider have exclusively revealed that Leeds are interested in Liverpool’s Kostas Tsimikas, who could become a great asset for the West Yorkshire side after helping Arne Slot’s men win the Premier League.
Meanwhile, Liverpool remain keen on Milos Kerkez, and once the Merseyside giants acquire the Bournemouth man, they should be willing to allow Tsimikas’ exit.
The Greece international has proven his quality when deputising for Andy Robertson, while his rich Premier League experience is exactly what Farke needs after steering the West Yorkshire club to promotion.
As exclusively reported by Football Insider, Leeds are also interested in Vladimir Coufal, further demonstrating the Whites’ appetite to sign a fullback with top-flight experience.
Elsewhere, football finance expert Dan Plumley exclusively told MOT Leeds News that the Elland Road club could sell a star player this summer.
