Leeds United transfer rumours as Aston Villa target Rodrigo move and Marc Roca La Liga return mooted

Rodrigo Leeds United Marc Roca Aston Villa La Liga Villa Unai Emery Radrizzani EPL Everton

Here are your latest Leeds United transfer rumours on Thursday, May 25.

Aston Villa target cut-price summer move for Rodrigo

Aston Villa boss Unai Emery is very keen to sign Leeds United forward Rodrigo this summer, should the Whites suffer relegation from the Premier League this weekend.

Leeds have to beat Tottenham on Sunday and hope both Everton and Leicester fail to win if they are to avoid dropping back down to the Championship after three seasons in the top flight.

Despite their struggles, Rodrigo has scored 13 Premier League goals this term and, as such, Spanish outlet Fichajes report Emery is keen to land the Spanish international on a cut-price move this summer.

Emery worked with the 32-year-old at Valencia and is looking to bolster his squad with Villa looking likely to secure a place in next season's Europa Conference League.

Real Betis target summer move for Marc Roca

Leeds United midfielder Marc Roca would be interested in a summer return to La Liga, with Real Betis reportedly keen to sign the former Bayern Munich midfielder.

Roca only joined Leeds in the summer but with relegation to the Championship looming large, a report from Estadio Deportivo claim sources close to the player have suggested he would be welcome a move back to Spain.

The report claims his contract at Elland Road contains a release clause should the Whites be relegated which would open the door for Manuel Pellegrini's side, who look likely to secure Europa League football next term, to make their move.
