Leeds United talent is set to spend year with Segunda Liga side.
Leeds United midfielder Oriol Rey has been pictured in Spain as he closes in on a move to UB Conquense.
Rey was pictured at the facilities of the second tier side by a reporter for Spanish news agency CMM.
Rey signed for Leeds last season from Barcelona and shone for the under-23s as one of the team’s best players.
His exit on loan comes as a bit of a disappointment as he was tipped to make the step up this season to the first team.
20-year-old Rey is capable of playing in central midfield and central defence, and featured under Marcelo Bielsa in pre-season.
Last week Rey was on the bench for Leeds as they drew at Swansea City.
UB Conquense are in the Spanish second division and are based in Cuenca, a city just outside of Madrid.
Leeds will hope that a strong season for Rey will result in his returning to the club a better player, with his first experience of competitive football under his belt, and is better positioned to compete for a first team spot.
Rey signed a two-year contract extension with Leeds in May.
