Samu Saiz is expected to leave Leeds permanently in the summer.
Leeds United allowed Samu Saiz to leave the club in late December after an offer arrived for him to return to Spain.
The deal was a loan switch and the Yorkshire Evening Post report Getafe are expected to pay £6 million to sign Saiz permanently in the summer.
Saiz has been speaking about his sudden exit from Elland Road and he says he had no hesitation about quitting.
Speaking to Spanish newspaper AS, Saiz explained that he knew he had to seize this opportunity.
He said: “After two years in England, when I had the option to return to Getafe, I was very attracted to the idea, and seeing how the team was working, I did not think twice.
“The league demands that we must go to the limit in each game.”
Saiz’s Getafe are in Spain’s top flight and he has already played against Atletico Madrid and Barcelona.
Getafe are riding high in fifth place, just four points off a Champions League spot, currently occupied by Sevilla.
Leeds were top of the table in England’s second tier when he left, but looking at where Getafe are in La Liga, his temptation to leave is understandable.
