Leeds United have secured the return of a player who spent the past year on loan with the club, marking the first step in determining the futures of Victor Orta’s loan army. This move follows the permanent departures of Robin Koch and Luis Sinisterra to Frankfurt and Bournemouth. The remaining members of the loan army include Marc Roca, Jack Harrison, Rasmus Kristensen, Diego Llorente, Max Wober, and Brenden Aaronson.
According to Phil Hay, only two of the six players can be loaned out again, with Harrison being one of them. Llorente is expected to make a permanent move to Roma, while Kristensen and Aaronson are set to return. Wober’s future remains uncertain due to Gladbach’s financial struggles.
Additionally, Roca, who had a successful loan spell at Betis, is reportedly set to return to the Spanish club ahead of the summer transfer window. Despite initially impressing at Leeds, Roca struggled when Tyler Adams was sidelined due to injury, prompting his return to Spain.
With Betis securing Roca on loan again, a deal has been reached between all parties, ensuring his presence for the upcoming season. Roca’s potential and talent have not yet reached their peak in a Leeds shirt, leading to his return to Spain where he hopes to rediscover his best form. After struggling during his time away from Spain, Roca looks forward to a fresh start with Betis and is prepared to make the most of his opportunity.
