The attacking midfielder is said to be unsettled at Leeds United.
Leeds United fans are reacting to reports that Samu Saiz is considering leaving Elland Road.
The Yorkshire Evening Post understands Saiz is unsettled at Leeds and has been ‘looking at the option of resuming his career in Spain’ since the summer.
It follows unverified speculation that the attacking midfielder is wanted by Getafe, a club who were previously linked with the player in the most recent transfer window (Fichajes).
Saiz shone in his first season at Leeds, scoring nine goals and setting up eight in 37 games.
But the 28-year-old’s tally for the current campaign stands at one and three, respectively, in 20.
What then do Leeds fans make of Thursday’s speculation? This is what they’re saying on Twitter…
thomas banks @ThomasBanks1985: “Seems to me there may have been a gentleman’s agreement with saiz..let us get brown fit and then you can **** off in January #lufc“
Louisa Wade @LouisaWade_: “Devastated Saiz wants to leave, but not shocked. **** our lives.”
It remains to be seen whether Leeds, who signed the recovering Izzy Brown on a season-long loan in August, will target a replacement should Saiz depart in January.
Brown recently returned to action for the Whites’ Under-23s, but is not yet ready for first-team duty, according to his manager, Marcelo Bielsa.
