Calendar of FC Barcelona

Junior Firpo arrived to the FC Barcelona in the summer of 2019 by 18 million euros like one of the carrileros more promising of LaLiga. Unfortunately, at the end it has finished turning into one of the big disappointments of the Barcelona group​​.

The performance of the Hispanic-dominican in the Barça has been very underneath of the level that expected of him when him fichó.

By all this, Joan Laporta​ has finish him signalling like one of the footballers with which do box.

The Dutch gave him only 18 parties between all the competitions, showing that it does not trust he.
