Leeds step up interest in Bayern Munich midfielder as replacement for Kalvin Phillips

The Whites have already signed Brenden Aaronson and Rasmus Kristensen from Red Bull Salzburg this summer for a combined £35million and are determined to keep spending. Leeds badly need strengthening in midfield and director of football Victor Orta has identified midfielder Marc Roca.

Roca, 25, joined Bayern from Espanyol in October 2020 for an initial £8.1million and has struggled to make an impact at the Allianz Arena. The former Spain Under-21 international made just 11 appearances in his first season with Bayern and just 13 last term.
