Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer was among those to wish Marc Roca the best of luck as he swapped the Bundesliga champions for Leeds United. The move was completed and announced on Friday afternoon with the Whites paying a fee of around £10m for his services.
The Spaniard’s time at the Allianz Arena did not pan out as he may have expected with first-team opportunities extremely limited. Although, he still had nothing but good things to say about the last two years of his career.
Roca was unfortunate to find himself behind one the world’s best defensive midfielders, Josh Kimmich, in Bavaria. Dependent on movements in the transfer market over the next couple of months, he may find himself in a similar predicament behind Kalvin Phillips but more game time at Elland Road is guaranteed.
