Ipswich Town hijack Marc Roca loan move to rejoin Real Betis

Leeds United player Marc Roca’s loan return to Real Betis has been hijacked if the Whites fail to win the forthcoming playoffs,

after which a bargain 2025 fee will be negotiated.

Leeds United may be three games away from returning to the Premier League,

but fans should not be unduly excited about their chances of making the playoffs.

It’s a route to promotion that Leeds has never taken, and it could cause problems for players currently on loan.

If Leeds do not win promotion, Marc Roca will go on loan.

According to the player himself, Marc Roca’s contract has a clause that allows him to leave on loan again

if Leeds are not promoted to the Premier League this season.

Mundo Deportivo goes on to say that Ipswich is in the process of negotiating a permanent transfer of him from Betis.

However, if Leeds fail to progress, they will be looking at a lower price tag in the summer of 2025,

knowing that Roca will only have one year left on his contract at that point.

Roca’s prices for this summer are out of reach.

If Leeds make the Premier League next season, that loan clause will no longer be applicable, adding to Roca’s anxiety.

The issue is that Leeds’ very modest asking price, as noted in the report, is €10 million (£8.6 million), which Betis believes is excessive.

After impressing in midfield and centre-back this season, it would not be shocking if another La Liga club took a chance on him.

You should be concerned if Roca’s contract includes a loan release clause if we don’t improve,

because it would imply that he isn’t the only one.

It would be weird for Leeds to include these terms across the board,

but it would also be strange if we only included them for one of the players and not the others.

If we do get promoted, I can see him being moved rather readily, despite Betis’ claims that they cannot afford £8.6 million.
