GOOD NEWS;Leeds United face Mateo Joseph exit threat as new La Liga transfer plan revealed

Real Betis are readying another eight-figure offer for the services of Leeds United’s Mateo Joseph.

That is according to Spanish news outlet, El Pelotazo, with the United striker a previous target for Manuel Pellegrini’s side, having seen a bid rejected by the title-chasing Championship outfit in the previous transfer window.

Despite supporters at Elland Road being treated to an exceptional season, especially in forward areas, as Joel Piroe looks set to win the ‘Golden Boot’, Joseph hasn’t had the desired impact for the side this term after breaking into the first-team last season.

Regardless, the Santander-born youth international has continued to gain admiration from those at the Estadio Benito Villamarín, and he could be returning to his home country this summer, despite the Whites’ own return to the Premier League.

This isn’t the first time Los Verdiblancos have shown an eagerness to secure the 22-year-old’s services, as it was reported in February that Leeds had knocked back a £10m bid from the La Liga outfit during the final days of the winter window.

At the time, Joseph was still deemed to be an important figure in United’s promotion bid alongside the Clarets and Sheffield United, although it was also impacted by the club being unsuccessful in their own pursuit of Cameron Archer from Southampton.

Since then, the man who has netted five goals in six games for Spain’s Under-21’s side, including goals against Denmark and Czechia this term.
