‘Convinced’ – Player issues Leeds United exit and emotional goodbye message to fans upon permanent switch: View

Midfielder Roca joined Leeds from Bayern Munich for £10m in the summer of 2022 but departed the club on a relegation release clause the following summer to join La Liga side Betis on a season-long loan. The 27-year-old’s move to Betis has now been made permanent and Roca says he is “convinced” that his side can achieve their “highest objectives” with values that he says are aligned to his own. Leeds are expected to receive an undisclosed fee believed to be £4 million for the former Spainunder-21s midfielder.

“Perseverance, positive energy and pride of belonging are some of the most outstanding principles of this big family. I am convinced that the effort, passion and ambition coupled with the communication between the team and the fans, will lead us to achieve the highest objectives. I sincerely appreciate the support I received from the wonderful Verdiblanca family. Let’s go for it all.”
