Leeds United star Samuel Saiz is reportedly wanted by Getafe.
According to a recent report in The Yorkshire Post, Getafe want to sign Saiz on loan from Leeds in the January transfer window with a view to a permanent move next summer.
Bielsa told Leeds Live about Saiz: “He has a personal situation to solve and the club allowed him to talk. I can’t tell you what will happen.
“What I can tell you is he has the permission of the club to be absent and I don’t know what the personal reasons are for his absence.”
Regarding signing a replacement, the Leeds head coach said: “Complicated to talk about a hypothesis because we don’t imagine the situation.
“It has to actually happen. I understand the question, but I can’t answer on a hypothesis.”
Big potential miss for Leeds United
If Saiz wants to return to Spain due to personal reasons, then one can understand Leeds’s decision to let him speak to Getafe.
The 27-year-old, who can operate as an attacking midfielder or as a forward, is a hugely important player for Leeds, and the Spaniard will be missed at Elland Road.
What is important for Leeds is that they start looking for a suitable replacement rightaway.
True, Izzy Brown could fill that hole, but the Chelsea-owned youngster has been injured for quite a while.
Leeds should look at signing a young attacking midfielder probably on a loan deal in the January transfer window.
