Leeds United are reportedly set to complete the signing of Bayern Munich midfielder Marc Roca on a permanent deal for a fee between €13m (£11.2m) and €15m (£12.8m).

Leeds United are reportedly set to complete the signing of Bayern Munich midfielder Marc Roca on a permanent deal this summer.

The 25-year-old has been a peripheral figure with the German giants since arriving from Espanyol in 2020 and has made only 24 appearances in all tournaments, including just six Bundesliga starts.

Roca is now believed to be one of eight players who Bayern are looking to move on, which has alerted Jesse Marsch's side.

According to Marca, Roca is set to join Leeds in a deal worth between €13m (£11.2m) and €15m (£12.8m) and he will put pen to paper on a three or four year contract.

The report adds that the Spaniard received two offers from La Liga clubs to return to his homeland, but he has decided to move to Leeds and test himself in the Premier League.

The potential arrival of Roca at Elland Road could cast doubts over the future of star midfielder Kalvin Phillips, with the report claiming that he is 'almost certain' to join Manchester City this summer.

Leeds have wasted no time in bolstering their squad for the 2022-23 campaign, as they have already finalised deals for Red Bull Salzburg pair Brenden Aaronson and Rasmus Kristensen.
