Leeds attacker is set to leave.
Leeds United manager Marcelo Bielsa has reportedly approved Samu Saiz’s departure to Getafe, the Yorkshire Post report.
The paper claim Bielsa agreed for Saiz to leave after learning of the Spaniard’s desperation to return to his homeland, citing personal reasons.
It is reported to be currently unclear if Bielsa intends to buy a replacement for Saiz in the January transfer window.
Saiz will not be included in Leeds’ squad which travels to Bolton for today’s match.
Leeds have won their last four games in a row and sit second in the Championship.
Leeds signed Saiz from Huesca in 2016 and he started off superbly under Thomas Christiansen.
He picked up a lengthy ban for spitting at an opponent in January and returned to a team in freefall and under new management.
Saiz failed to score under Paul Heckingbottom and has not done so under Marcelo Bielsa either.
Marca reported yesterday that Saiz is set to head to Spain for a medical.
