Leeds United youngster Alejandro Machuca’s time at the club is officially over.

Machuca has joined Spanish side Union Deportiva Ibiza, newspaper Diario De Ibiza reported this morning.

UD Ibiza announced his signing on their official website.

Machuca spent last season out on loan at Burgos where he made 16 appearances.

UD Ibiza play in the Spanish lower leagues and were only founded in 2015.

Leeds signed him from Rayo Vallecano in 2017, as the first of series of young players to leave Spain to join the Whites.

He spent the first season with Leeds’ under-23 side under Carlos Corberan.

Machuca, 21, was under contract at Leeds until 2020, but his chances of cracking the first team were slim.

His new deal at UD Ibiza runs until 2021.

Now he gets the chance to begin the next chapter of his career and use his experience at Leeds to his benefit.
