Given that Leeds United did not advance, it appears like Victor Orta’s loan army will have another chance to depart on loan this summer. In fact, one player has already committed to return to his loan team.
Contracts with Orta’s relegation loan clause were largely signed by players signed during the Jesse Marsch era. It said that if the team was demoted, they may move on loan and Leeds couldn’t turn down offers.
Max Wober, Jack Harrison, and Luis Sinisterra relocated to the Premier League, while Robin Koch, Brenden Aaronson, and Wober transferred to Germany. Rasmus Kristensen and Diego Llorente joined Roma, while Marc Roca moved to Spain.
subsequently the club’s failure to be promoted on Sunday, the condition allowing the other six to leave Elland Road on loan again may be invoked. Koch and Sinisterra have subsequently left permanently.
Roca, 27, has made 37 appearances for Betis. Prior to suffering an injury in February, he was the team’s first choice. However, the most recent reports from his home nation indicate that he will soon be returning to Betis.
Marc Roca has agreed to return to Betis from Leeds, having agreed on a deal weeks ago. Roca has shown promise, playing both center back and midfield and even setting up four goals for the La Liga team. Before the summer, the Spaniard has always stated that he would prefer to remain at Betis.
It appeared for a while that he would return until Roca started to fade and Betis refused to pay Leeds’ asking price. However, Betis can now sign Roca on loan for a another season without having to pay a price.
This is as a result of Orta’s provision coming back into effect. With Roca and Betis having agreed to extend his loan a few weeks earlier, Aficion Deportiva noticed that Betis wanted to keep him and were “getting closer” to a deal.
What English publications are saying regarding Leeds’ position on Roca
Leeds is reportedly optimistic about landing permanent deals for Roca, Llorente, Harrison, and Wober after the Elland Road four showed promise while on loan at their respective loan clubs.
However, relegation presents a challenge, particularly if Leeds is compelled to place them on loan a second time. Leeds needs money because it owes rival teams £190 million in player transactions.
If this loan is going to hinder Leeds’ summer once more, it implies that players like Roca will be sent on loan without bringing in any money, which will compel the 49ers to let go of key players this summer.
