The midfield is one area that Leeds United need to solve in the summer transfer window.
It has been a major problem for the Whites since the time of Marcelo Bielsa.
The Whites have tried and failed over the past few years to bolster their midfield, but they failed to land the right profile of players.
However, Jesse Marsch looks set to amend the mistake.
According to The Daily Mail on 9 June, Leeds are in talks to sign Bayern Munich midfielder Marc Roca.
The 25-year-old holding midfielder will be allowed to leave the club in the summer transfer window, after he failed to make an impact for the German giants.
The Whites could secure a deal for him, thought to be in the region of £10million. The amount is much less compared to some of the prices of some of the players Leeds have been reportedly chasing.
The Spaniard was superb for Espanyol but has struggled to nail down a place in Bayern’s side.
He was impressive last season (2021-22) when he got a run of games in December / January when the likes of Leon Goretzka and Joshua Kimmich got injured.
The midfielder filled the spot for them and made a strong impact.
He is solid at defending and has a got wide passing range. The Spaniard could be an ideal replacement for Kalvin Phillips, should he leave, or he can be a number six, who can play alongside the England midfielder.
Leeds face competition for his signature, but it would be a superb addition for them if they can pull off their third major signing of the summer.
