It was suggested that Leeds United were trying to sign Marc Roca from Bayern Munich, and it appears they are well on their way to doing so.
Wanting someone brought in to bolster the midfield at Elland Road, Jesse Marsch targeted the Spaniard, who never managed to break through at the Bundesliga side since his arrival.
Totalling 24 appearances in all competitions over two years, an exit was expected this season, and Leeds seem happy to give him a landing spot.
In fact, according to Relevo in Spain, via their journalists Albert Rogé and Toni Juanmartí, the player ‘is signing for Leeds’.

They claim the Premier League side ‘will pay €12m up front with €2m in bonuses’, and the player ‘will sign for four seasons’.
In fact, the official announcement is expected ‘this week’, meaning it’s right around the corner.
We’ll wait and see if more reports follow this one, but this is rather exciting times for Leeds fans, who will want anything but a repeat of the last season going forward.
