Real Betis made a significant move during the summer by securing Marc Roca on a season-long loan from Leeds United, a transfer initiated following Leeds' relegation from the Premier League. Roca, formerly of Espanyol and Bayern Munich, has made a positive impact in Andalusia, impressing with his quality and versatility, even filling in at centre-back when needed. Despite Betis and Leeds initially agreeing to a loan without a buy option, Estadio Deportivo reports that negotiations are currently underway to secure Roca's long-term future at the club before the winter transfer window.

Betis is keen on signing Roca for a reduced fee and is considering the inclusion of a sell-on clause for Leeds, ensuring the English club receives additional funds if Roca is sold in the future. Betis is not solely focused on Roca, as Junior Firpo, formerly of Barcelona, is also on their radar for the left-back position.
