Real Betis Open Negotiation With Leeds United Over Permanent Transfer Of Marc Roca
Written by Olaleye Oluwadamilola
Real Betis are looking to secure the permanent service of on loan Leeds United Star Marc Roca who has impressed club bosses showing his quality and versatility, having filled in at centre-back on occasion since his summer arrival on a season long loan after the English club relegation.
More Details
During the summer, Real Betis signed Marc Roca on a season-long loan deal from Leeds United following the English side’s relegation from the Premier League but their deal with Leeds did not include a buy option meaning that they will need to open talks in order to sign Roca on a permanent basis.
As per Estadio Deportivo, they have done just that with negotiations currently underway, as they look to secure the 26-year-old’s long-term future at the club before the winter transfer window.
Betis are hoping to sign Roca for a reduced fee by including a sell-on clause for Leeds to hold on to, so that they would receive further funds in the event that he is sold on in the future.
Roca isn’t the only Leeds-contracted player that Betis are interested in, with ED also stating that Junior Firpo, formerly of Barcelona, is on their shortlist for left-back. With Juan Miranda highly anticipated to leave the club for AC Milan, and Abner Vinicius having been underwhelming since arriving last January, Firpo has emerged as a possible option.
