Leeds United offloaded a bulk of senior players following their relegation to the Championship.
Marc Roca has revealed that Leeds United teammate Junior Firpo played a part in convincing him to leave Elland Road on loan to Real Betis this summer. The Whites signed the midfielder from Bayern Munich last June for £10 million but after just one season, Roca is already out taking on a new challenge back in his home country. His exit, while only temporary for the time being, was part of Leeds’ mass exodus following their relegation from the Premier League.
“I spoke with Junior and Joel, who were with me at Leeds,” the midfielder said. “They told me not to think about it, that I would be very comfortable. They told me about the coach, the coaching staff, the locker room, the city, everything. In the end it is a plus that people very close to you give you this encouragement, this advice and the truth is that, just as they told me, I am feeling it now and I am finding it here in Seville.
