Daniel Farke is set to lose his first player of the transfer window, with his destiny now looking certain.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Leeds United<\/a> are expected to have a major overhaul this summer with plenty of options arriving through the door.<\/p>\n

But this could also mean there are exits made that help with PSR concerns for the 49ers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Paraag Marathe isn\u2019t worried about PSR<\/a>, but if the Whites don\u2019t spend wisely this window, it could crop up as an issue.<\/p>\n

For now though, one player is certain to leave, as an offer is tabled and a move is becoming more and more likely.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been an ongoing saga since the end of the season, but Junior Firpo<\/a> staying at Leeds has always been \u2018unlikely\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Fans would be hoping Daniel Farke<\/a> could work his magic in retaining the left-back after such a strong campaign, but the signs have always pointed to an exit.<\/p>\n

This has now been seemingly confirmed by journalist Fabrizio Romano, who has given a major update on the 28-year-old\u2019s future at Elland Road<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Real Betis have emerged as suitors for Firpo<\/a>, and this has always seemed the probable destination for the Dominican Republic international.<\/p>\n

Romano has confirmed this theory as Betis are \u2018closing in\u2019 on a three-year contract for Firpo, with his return to Spain edging closer. The deal is now in its \u2018final stages\u2019.<\/p>\n

Leeds can finally move on from Firpo this summer<\/p>\n

There might be a sense of relief among the higher-ups at Leeds following what seems like Firpo\u2019s confirmed exit.<\/p>\n

The left-back has had many questions raised on whether he stays or if he goes, but Betis seemed to have put the nail in the coffin.<\/p>\n

Just recently, Firpo had a call with Betis<\/a> to determine his future, and it seems as though the call was a success between both parties.<\/p>\n

After coming up in big moments for the Whites this campaign, it seems like the perfect ending for the 28-year-old, who will be starting a new challenge.<\/p>\n

Now, the time is for Leeds to line up replacements, as Alex Moreno could be Firpo\u2019s successor<\/a> this window.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the end of an era for Firpo, but he leaves with his head held high.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
