Leeds United’s final play-off result could spark ‘complicated’ transfer saga for 27-year-old – Report

Marc Roca has been in decent form for Real Betis this season before his fitness problems, but his future away from Leeds United depends on Sunday’s play-off final.

Leeds are six days away from their final game of the season as they take on Southampton in the play-off final at Wembley.

The result for Daniel Farke’s side will not only have huge implications for the current players but also those who have been out on loan all season.

Marc Roca awaits the final result of the Leeds playoffs

A new report from Estadio Deportivo reveals that Roca is one of the players who could stay at Real Betis in the summer after a solid loan spell in 23/24.

For Betis, they will likely be hoping Southampton are promoted ahead of Leeds to secure a no-frills deal for the Spanish midfielder.

The report says:

“With Marc Roca, he is aware of what Leeds are doing. The Englishmen play the final of the Premier League promotion play-off against Southampton (May 26). If they go up, their continuity is complicated.”

Marc Roca confirms the additional loan clause at Betis

Leeds will have a headache in the summer for these loan players, with Roca himself previously confirming at the start of the season that his contract contains an add-on clause.

If Leeds remain in the Championship for a second season, he can continue to leave the club on loan, having done so following relegation.

It was recently claimed that there is a deal in place for this to happen if Saints win at Wembley.

The promotion should give Leeds a permanent transfer fee for Marc Roca

As “complicated” the business becomes if we go up, his performances before injury and illness should make him a priority for Betis.

If not, then we have every power to accept offers from other clubs who would like him, there will certainly be some in La Liga.

Losing at Wembley would be a real worry as Roca goes out on loan again and you have to wonder if there are more loan players in our squad who could do the same.
