Leeds United midfielder Marc Roca may opt to continue playing for Real Betis next season, even if Daniel Farke’s team achieves promotion. The consensus within Betis is strong regarding his transfer, as reported by El Desmarque. Roca seems increasingly inclined to stay with the Spanish club, exerting efforts to secure either a permanent deal or an extension of his loan from Leeds.
His determination to stay put is bolstering Betis’ desire to retain him, with the club’s management already strategizing for the upcoming season. Roca has become a pivotal player under Manuel Pellegrini, making him a top priority for Betis. The possibility of a permanent transfer becomes more feasible if Leeds fails to secure promotion, which would also open the door for a potential second loan spell due to a contractual clause allowing him to leave if Leeds remains outside the Premier League.
However, if Leeds does ascend, negotiations may become more complex. Nonetheless, there is a unanimous agreement at Betis that a solution must be reached regardless of Leeds’ fate. Betis is prepared to engage in discussions, buoyed by Roca’s own determination to settle permanently in Andalusia—he has even purchased a home in the region, signaling his intentions.
While the situation is still unfolding, Betis remains committed to striking a deal irrespective of Leeds’ division status.
