Leeds United have reportedly reached an agreement with Real Betis ahead of a proposed exit for Marc Roca. The Spaniard looks set to join the La Liga club on loan in the coming days, with the report claiming a deal had been closed.
Estadio Deportivo claims Betis have reached an agreement with the Whites to loan the midfielder for next season given a clause in his contract and have even managed to negotiate an option to buy into the proposed deal. Leeds are said to have been reluctant to insert a clause, but were left with very little option according to the Spanish press.
There is no mention of what kind of fee it would take to make the deal a permanent one, but Roca is said to have agreed terms well in advance.
The La Liga side are said to have an agreement to pay Roca's wages in full and he's looking forward to playing under Manuel Pellegrini in Europe next season.

The departure of William Carvalho to Al Nassr will allow Betis to kick start their summer transfer business. Former Leicester City forward Ayoze Perez and Arsenal defender Hector Bellerin are also set to sign for Los Verdiblancos.
Roca's departure from Elland Road is set to be the first in what's expected to be a very busy summer for the Whites. Tyler Adams, Brenden Aaronson, Robin Koch, Rodrigo and Illan Meslier are among just a few to have been linked with a move away from Leeds United.
However, any transfer business is likely to be slowed down by the wait for the takeover at Elland Road to be given the green light by the EFL.
