Sport nationMarc Roca, currently on loan at Real Betis from Leeds United, has expressed a strong desire to continue with the Spanish club beyond the current season. Real Betis, under the guidance of Manuel Pellegrini, has found Roca to be a key player this season, leading to discussions about making his move permanent. Initially, reports from Diario de Sevilla suggested that Real Betis was hesitant about committing to a purchase, possibly as a strategy to negotiate a lower price with Leeds United. However, Estadio Deportivo has provided a different perspective, indicating that Real Betis is keen on retaining Roca.
The decision on Roca’s future is closely tied to Leeds United’s performance in the Championship. Currently, Leeds is in a strong position, sitting second in the table, just a point ahead of third-placed Leicester City, who have a game in hand. The outcome of Leeds United’s promotion bid is crucial; if Leeds secures a return to the Premier League, it could complicate Betis’s plans to keep Roca. A promotion would likely lead to negotiations between the two clubs for a transfer. Conversely, if Leeds does not achieve promotion, it might be easier for Real Betis to arrange another loan deal for Roca.
Both Roca and Real Betis have shown mutual interest in continuing their partnership, with the final decision likely depending on Leeds United’s league finish this season. Real Betis is closely monitoring the situation, understanding that the Championship’s developments will significantly influence their ability to secure Roca’s services for the upcoming season[1].
