Leeds United fans have laid into Marc Roca on social media following the completion of the midfielder's permanent switch to Real Betis.

Roca sealed a full transfer to Betis from Elland Road in a £3.8m deal, contributing kindly towards Leeds' efforts to balance the books in time for Sunday.

The move had been mooted for a while, with Football Insider [25 June] revealing Roca had travelled back to his homeland for advanced talks following 37 matches and four goals whilst on loan.

The Spaniard arrived at the Whites from Bayern Munich in 2022, playing 36 times in his solitary season in a Leeds shirt.

Roca, 27, has featured for Spain at various youth levels, but has not yet appeared for the senior side.

Leeds United fans give Roca hostile goodbye

Leeds fans have conveyed their thoughts via X on Roca's permanent departure, with the club themselves posting just a 36-word official statement on his exit.

He wanted to come back he was just too slow to turn around, so they figured he might as well stay.

Remember when Orta said the best business he did at Leeds was replacing Phillips with Roca? #lufc 🤦‍♂️ 🤡
