JUST IN: Leeds Star Player Making Every Effort To Leave The Club This Summer
Marc Roca, a midfielder for Leeds United, is reportedly keen to sign a long-term contract with Real Betis after having a great loan experience at the La Liga team.
Under Manuel Pellegrini’s direction, Roca has regained his form again at Real Betis, where he has made 24 appearances in La Liga and helped the team out with two goals and two assists.
Eldes Marque, a Spanish publication, has revealed that Roca is aggressively seeking a permanent transfer to Real Betis. According to insiders, the player has already made a purchase of a Spanish home, demonstrating his dedication to the move.
The 27-year-old midfielder’s chances of signing with Betis for the upcoming campaign are growing, which could mean the end of his time at Leeds United.
Roca, who reportedly paid £10.9 million to join Leeds from Bayern Munich in 2022, has made 33 appearances for the Yorkshire team.
Final Leeds United standings will affect Roca’s summer transfer
What happens with Leeds United’s promotion campaign could have a big impact on Roca’s future.
Roca’s loan period may be extended by Betis if Leeds are unable to gain promotion to the Premier League, which would facilitate their ability to keep him on staff indefinitely.
But Betis might have to pay him more for him if Leeds are promoted.
Leeds United currently has 87 points, good for third place in the Championship. They are behind league leaders Leicester City by 4 points and second-place Ipswich Town by 2 points.
Leeds’ chances of getting promoted were damaged by a recent loss to Blackburn Rovers, but they are still very much in the running to rejoin the Premier League.
