Leeds United have confirmed midfielder Samuel Saiz will join LaLiga side Getafe on loan in January, with a view to a permanent deal in the summer.
Saiz travelled to Spain for a medical at the weekend and will not be returning to Yorkshire before his stint with high-flying Getafe begins. It's understood Getafe could pay as much as £6 million for the midfielder.
The 27-year-old joined the Championship club from Huesca in 2017 on a four year deal for £3 million and scored nine goals in all competitions in his first season with the club. His first season was also littered with controversy as he was banned for six games for spitting during United's FA Cup defeat at Newport.
Saiz made 21 appearances for Leeds this campaign, scoring once, but has revealed he and his family are unhappy in England and Leeds have moved quickly to remedy the issue.
