Leeds attacker is said to be closing in on an exit.
Leeds United attacker Samu Saiz could make a quicker than expected departure from the club.
Yesterday afternoon the Yorkshire Evening Post reported Spanish side Getafe were showing an interest in the unsettled playmaker.
Now the situation is accelerating fast.
Spanish newspaper Marca report Getafe president Angel Torres has confirmed the club are set to sign a new player.
He did not name Saiz, yet Marca‘s report states that it is the Leeds player who is joining.
Torres dropped a major hint, stating, ‘The English will be angry’, if he publicly named the incoming signing.
Marca claim that Saiz could undergo a medical at Getafe as soon as next week.
This would suggest that Marcelo Bielsa has given the sign-off on Saiz’s departure already.
He started last week’s win over QPR, playing for 81 minutes.
If Saiz heads to Spain for a medical next week then it is doubtful he would be available for selection for the remainder of Leeds’ December fixtures.
Leeds have Izzy Brown back from injury and he could take his squad place, while Leeds could still look to the transfer market for a new addition.
