The 27-year-old, who made an impression during his loan stint at the La Liga team last season, is reportedly in talks to sign a four-year contract, according to the Spanish website.
“It has always been a priority, no matter what happened with Guido,” Manu Fajardo, the sporting director of Betis, stated.
“The positions are close, so let’s hope it can happen soon,” he continued.
Even though Roca’s contract with Leeds runs until 2026, his two years at Elland Road will probably come to an end next week when his transfer is confirmed.
Marc Roca will approve the deal to Leeds United.
For all parties concerned, Roca’s transfer to Real Betis makes perfect sense.
Roca made an excellent impression in his 37 games during his loan stint the previous season, with three assists and four goals, solidifying his position as a vital member of Manuel Pellegrini’s team.
Sporting director Fajardo of Betis emphasised that acquiring Roca has always been a top goal, citing his dedication and ideal fit for the group.
Although Roca’s contract with Leeds runs until 2026, the deal is expected to close soon, bringing an end to his unhappy time at Elland Road.
The Whites, who are trying to rebuild in order to support their promotion bid, will also benefit from this move.
Getting Roca gives Betis a long-term assurance of consistency and excellence in their midfield. Roca himself is given the chance to carry on with his career in La Liga, having already established himself and fit right in.
