This season, he’s grown…

If the Whites are not promoted, one Leeds United player may depart Elland Road the following season; a club is reportedly considering a move.

Leeds United transfer update

The Whites, who were demoted from the Premier League to the Championship the previous season, have been going through a metamorphosis both on and off the field. Leeds has started the new season steadily, now that they are led in the boardroom by 49ers Enterprises and in the dugout by Daniel Farke.

at make matters worse, Leeds now behind Ipswich Town by nine points in the battle for automatic promotion after losing 1-0 at Stoke City on Wednesday night. Patrick Bamford missed a penalty shot during the match. Though many players departed Elland Road on loan or permanent transfers, the club did add nine new acquisitions throughout the summer. Marc Roca was one of the people that left, and based on the situation, it appears that he may stay with Real Betis through the 2024–2025 season, provided certain requirements are met.

The midfielder is regarded as having confidence by Betis manager Manuel Pellegrini, according to a Spanish outlet that released a Marc Roca transfer update during the last 48 hours. Should Leeds fail to return to the top division on their first attempt, it is said that Roca’s contract at Betis might be extended for an additional year.

Leeds United loan exits

Following their relegation, Leeds saw several first-team players—including Roca—exercise their contractual right to go on loan. After being called “impressive” by former Bayern manager Julian Nagelsmann, the Spanish midfielder has played in 12 games for the La Liga team and assisted on three goals.

Since leaving Yorkshire, the player’s WhoScored rating has also increased, demonstrating how he appears to have benefited from a temporary Elland Road exit. Regarding his return to Spain, Rocca stated:

“Obviously it’s always positive to return home. I came through in La Liga. I started my career here and after three years abroad, between Germany and England, I really wanted to come to Betis. I’m very happy and very comfortable on the pitch.”

Therefore, Roca’s future with Betis might be monitored, either permanently or through another loan, based on how Leeds performs between now and the end of the season. The Whites will be aiming to be in a situation where they can demand a fee for his services after winning promotion under Farke.
