Many of the team’s players, excluding Leeds11, have damaged relationships by quitting during the summer even though they are still under contract.
Many fans have valid concerns about these guys even getting air time given their summertime departure from the team, but in 2024, they could potentially bring in a substantial sum of transfer revenue.
Marc Roca: Any new developments?
With four goals so far this season, Marc Roca is making the most of his return to La Liga after joining Real Betis during the summer transfer window.
He will have to wait until March for another opportunity to be called up to the Spain national team, but his midfield exploits for Manuel Pellegrini’s team have put him in the running for the accolade.
In an interview with PTV Sevilla this week, the 26-year-old said that negotiations for a permanent transfer have started with his present club:
“It is true that we are in contact with the club. We will see how the negotiations progress, but I am very happy here.”
Huge transfer boost for Leeds?
Roca paid £10 million to join Leeds from Bayern Munich in the summer of 2022, which may have been a good deal if we had taken use of his undeniable talent.
Though he was a skilled passer, the Premier competition proved to be more of a test for the Spaniard due to his rapid exposure of his inability to meet the physical standards of the competition.
He’s back to his best, which is fantastic news for Leeds as well as the player, since they will now be in talks to cash in on the guy who doesn’t seem to have much left in him.
It’s unclear how much Leeds will receive for him, but considering that they spent £10 million on him the previous season, it’s likely that we will at least break even.
If Leeds is promoted in 2024, such an exit puts the team in a far stronger position.
