Football Insider have reported Leeds United and Real Betis are making progress over a permanent deal for Marc Roca.
The Spaniard joined the La Liga side on loan in the summer and now talks are underway for a permanent transfer.
Roca is determined to end his relationship with Leeds United having joined them in June 2022. He has commanded his agent to make the transfer happen.
The 27-year old has been an important part of the Spanish side, with manager Manuel Pellegrini starting him in 16 of his team’s 18 matches in the league. The midfielder has bagged two goals and one assist for his team in the current campaign.
The former Bayern Munich star also started all six matches of Real Betis’ Europa League campaign this season. Pellegrini’s team failed to advance to the next round of the competition and have been demoted to the Conference League.
Roca was one of many Leeds players who exercised the relegation release clause and left the club after Leeds were relegated from the Premier League.
The defensive midfielder joined Leeds from Bayern Munich in 2022 in a deal worth £10m.
Leeds currently sit third in the Championship and looking likely to make a swift return to the top flight of English football.
We should let him leave along with all the other selfish/arrogant deserters. However we should look to be breaking even if not making à bit of money on all of them. The loosers we cant sell can spend next season on the bench ( not to be used ) or play in the U23s
Get shot. He did nowt while he was with us and ran off as soon as he could. Would never get back in the team now anyway
Not needed or wanted at ER , same goes for the other prima Donna’s that jumped ship, good riddance MOT without yous ⚽️⚽️⚽️ WE are LEEDS.
We need to be strong with our requirements and look to make at least a small profit Real Betis are eager to sign him and Roca is eager to sign. Betis will not want to risk more interest on Roca if not signed in January so Leeds United are in a good position. We should look for 12+ million and be strong in any negotiations.
