Bayern Munich Sporting Director Hasan Salihamidžić believes Marc Roca will bring Leeds United ‘a lot of joy’ after confirmation of his move arrived earlier this evening. The Spanish midfielder put pen to paper on a four-year-deal after successfully completing a medical at Thorp Arch.
The 25-year-old has joined for a fee in the region of £10 million and becomes Leeds’ third signing of the summer following the additions of Brenden Aaronson and Rasmus Kristensen from Red Bull Salzburg. Roca arrives at Leeds in search of regular game time after just 15 league appearances in two seasons at the Allianz Arena.
But despite his lack of minutes, Roca certainly left a lasting impression on his former club, with some impressive performances in matches where he was handed an opportunity. Current Bayern boss J ulien Naglesmann was almost apologetic to Roca for his limited match action in the wake of an excellent individual display in a 5-0 win over Stuttgart last December.
