Leeds United will have to do battle with Barcelona if they are to secure the services of Marc Roca, according to German media outlet BILD. The Whites have been linked with the midfielder during the week as the club look to add reinforcements to a vulnerable midfield, with talk of a £10 million move gathering pace in the last few days.
The 25-year-old is open to a move away from Bayern after making just 24 appearances over his two season’s at the club after moving there from Espanyol. He has failed to find a consistent place in the midfield - understandable, considering he is competing with Joshua Kimmich - and is keen for regular minutes, with Leeds able to offer exactly that.
But now the Catalan club are reportedly looking to swoop in and seal a deal under Leeds' noses as they look to strengthen their squad with cut-price deals, and BILD have reported that they are one of several clubs battling the Whites for a deal.
