According to the Yorkshire Evening Post, Leeds United playmaker Samu Saiz has received one approach from a Spanish team after ending his Getafe spell.

Saiz, 28, decided to return to Spain in January, 18 months after joining Leeds from Huesca, with his return seemingly being for personal reasons.

The playmaker had shown flashes of his quality with Leeds, racking up 10 goals and 12 assists in 58 games for the Whites, and some may feel that he wasn’t replaced when he left in January.

Saiz’s spell with Getafe didn’t go to plan, starting just four games for them in all competitions, but he still looks unlikely to play for Leeds again.

Saiz has been in the news for all the wrong reasons this morning, but the Yorkshire Evening Post claim that one Spanish team has already made an approach.

Leeds may just hope to get shut of Saiz permanently for whatever they can get at this point, with his value decreasing almost by the week at this point.

Few could have predicted such a situation after his first season for Leeds, but this will now be a big summer for the playmaker, who needs to get his career back on track – no doubt away from Elland Road.
