Leeds United midfielder Marc Roca appears to be on the verge of an Elland Road exit this summer. If reports in Spain are to be believed, Roca is close to joining Real Betis on loan for the 2023-24 campaign, just 12 months after making the switch to Leeds from Bayern Munich.
According to Mundo Deportivo, Betis, who will be competing in Europe next season, have beaten off competition to sign Roca, who struggled to find consistency during his one season in the Premier League, which ended in Leeds being relegated to the Championship. The Spaniard knows La Liga well, of course, and it seems as though he’ll spend next season attempting to get his career back on track under Manuel Pellegrini, assuming the deal goes through.
His expected exit will come as little surprise for supporters, but for Leeds as a club, it seems as though his departure could kickstart what is expected to be a large summer exodus. United aren’t short of high-profile players with promising talent and the rumour mill has been in full swing since their relegation was confirmed at the end of May.
