Here are the latest Leeds United evening headlines on Tuesday, 14 June.
Roca update
Leeds United have reportedly come to a full agreement with Bayern Munich for the signing of midfielder Marc Roca. That is according to Sky in Germany reporter Florian Plettenberg, who claims that a fee of €12 million plus add-ons has tempted Bayern into selling.
Roca is said to be 'leaning towards' a move to Leeds, though official confirmation of his decision is yet to be communicated, which is all that stands between the completion of the remaining formalities. The 25-year-old is set to become the Whites' third signing of an already busy summer, following Brenden Aaronson and Rasmus Kristensen.
Castellanos update
New York City FC sporting director David Lee has claimed no-one has yet to have made an acceptable offer for Valentin Castellanos. The Argentine has been linked with a move to Elland Road in the last couple of months but the two clubs have not come to any agreement.

Castellanos has been one of the stand-out players in the MLS over the last few years and with 34 goals and 15 assists in his last 54 games, he has caught the attention of several European sides. MLS insider Tom Bogert, who provided several updates regarding Brenden Aaronson’s move to Leeds, wrote in MLS Soccer what Lee had to say about the speculation involving Castellanos.
He said: “As of now, there’s no tangible update, really. We haven’t received an offer that we think is acceptable. Until that happens, Taty will remain with our team, continue to perform and score goals for us. When more offers come, we’ll assess them and decide if it’s right.”
Everton takeover?
Former Manchester United and Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon is reportedly leading a consortium interested in the takeover of Everton. There has been no secret of the financial issues in recent years at Goodison Park, with speculation of a potential breach of Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations emerging in recent months.
Leeds United and Burnley suspected, at the end of the recently-finished season, that the Toffees were not complying with FFP rules. Although, the query from the two sides battling relegation was largely overlooked as it was launched in the direct aftermath of Everton securing their Premier League safety.
