Leeds star wants to quit Elland Road, English manager wants to bring him abroad – report
Under Daniel Farke, Joseph battled for playing time in the Championship, and with the Whites headed back to the Premier League, speculation over the Spaniard’s future surfaced.
At Elland Road, the 21-year-old has displayed some promise, but his main worry has been that he hasn’t been able to convert his efforts into goals.
Joseph would be moved further down the hierarchy if Leeds were to add a striker to their roster this summer, and it appears that he isn’t ready to stick around and compete for a spot.
Strasbourg eye move for Joseph as Leeds exit edges closer
Real Betis made a winter approach for Joseph, but Leeds turned it down. According to latest sources, the La Liga team is still interested in signing him this summer.
Joseph, who has reportedly made the decision to leave Elland Road, may be able to depart Leeds for a sum of almost £20 million.

A number of other clubs are rumoured to be interested in signing the forward, and Strasbourg, under Liam Rosenior’s management, is also eager to bring him to France.
It is clear that Joseph would be considered surplus to needs, and his departure is now likely, as Callum Wilson is one of several attackers linked to a move to the Whites.
Joseph exit will boost Leeds transfer hopes
Leeds will need to transfer some of their periphery players on in order to comply with PSR, and they must make good hiring decisions this summer.
If both parties can agree on a fair price for Joseph’s sale, it would be a win-win situation.
In addition, his departure would increase the demand for a new striker to join Elland Road, which was undoubtedly already a top priority.
Given that he still has a tonne of potential that might help them in the future, the Whites will surely try to include a sell-on provision in any deal if the Spaniard does go this summer.
