Leeds United are said to have paid around £3 million for Saiz 18 months ago.

Leeds United manager Marcelo Bielsa gives instructions too substitute Samu Saiz at Elland Road on October 27, 2018 in Leeds, England.

Leeds United value Samu Saiz at around £6 million, according to the Yorkshire Evening Post.

The newspaper reports that Saiz is set to travel for a medical at Getafe ahead of a loan move with a view to buy.

And it adds that a permanent deal is expected to go through next summer.

But whether or not Leeds are able to fetch their desired amount for Saiz, who it is claimed will not feature in the Whites’ fixture at Bolton on Saturday, will perhaps depend on his performances between now and the end of the campaign.

Leeds are said to have paid around £3 million to bring Saiz from Huesca 18 months ago.

All being well, his temporary transfer will officially go ahead on January 1.
