Sacko was not given a shirt number by Leeds this summer.
The 24-year-old winger struggled to have an impact at Elland Road and new manager Marcelo Bielsa has seemingly ostracised the French-born Mali international from the squad.
Indeed, speed machine Sacko only managed 279 minutes of Championship football last season, spread out over 14 league appearances. Now, he will look to resurrect his career in the second tier of Spanish football.
Sacko first joined Leeds on loan from Sporting Lisbon during the 2016-17 season, and agreed a permanent transfer to the Yorkshire club last summer. But the move simply has not worked out for player or club.
Indeed, Sacko was one of a handful of first teamers to miss out on a shirt number last week, including the likes of Eunan O’Kane, Luke Murphy, Caleb Ekuban and Vurnon Anita – the latter’s number eight shirt replaced by Ronaldo Vieira.
Leeds beat Las Palmas 1-0 on Sunday, thanks to a late goal from Kemar Roofe, though talks between the Spaniards and Leeds over a loan for Sacko have been going on for weeks – as per the report.
It is believed Sacko had offers from England and Portugal, but has chosen to try something new with a move to Spain.
