Report: Leeds midfielder set to be first high profile departure at Elland road this summer after opening talks with La Liga side, USA midfielder also likely to leave as Whites face major battle to keep stars

The latest reports suggest that Leeds United midfielder Marc Roca could be one of the first out of the exit door should the club suffer relegation this weekend.

According to The Express, Roca could be the ‘first high-profile departure’ at Leeds. Spanish club Real Betis have apparently re-opened talks with the representatives of the player.

There have done this as the Premier League club risks being relegated this weekend. If this happens, there could be a huge exodus on the cards. The Spaniard, who signed for £10million last summer, is reportedly being given a lifeline to return to his home nation and play in a top division.

This will no doubt be very disappointing for both the fans at Leeds and the players. Since joining from Bayern Munich, Roca has been a key player.
USMNT midfielder Weston McKennie is also likely to leave the club this summer with the club now unlikely to trigger his £30m release clause from Juventus.

It is no shock to see players at the club start to be linked with moves away. Leeds have spent over £100million this campaign. If they go down, they will need to make changes ahead of life in the Championship.

As well as this, it would be no shock to see a fair few of the players want to leave. Some have shown they deserve to be playing in a top-flight league.

The club will no doubt have a lot of work to do in the final game of the season. There is hope that they can stay up, but their fate is sadly not in their hands.
