Leeds United attacker Mateo Joseph has been linked with a permanent exit from the club in recent months.
The 22-year-old has been on loan at Mallorca, and he is very interested in joining the La Liga club permanently in the summer, as per Football Insider. Joseph does not have a future at Leeds United, and it would make sense for him to leave the club permanently.
The Spanish youth International will not want to sit on the bench at Leeds next season. Meanwhile, he has impressed with his performance for the Spanish club this season. He has two goals and three assists in the league, and he could develop into an important player for them in the future. Regular football in La Liga will help him improve further and fulfil his potential. It remains to be seen whether Mallorca is prepared to secure his signature permanently.
They do not have an option to make the move permanent, but it would not be a surprise if Leeds United is prepared to sanction his departure. They will not want to keep the player against his wishes. In addition, he’s not a key player for them, and keeping him at the club would not make any sense.
Leeds should cash in on Joseph
Leeds should look to sell the 22-year-old in the summer and use the funds to improve the squad. They need more quality and depth in the attacking unit, and selling the 22-year-old will bring in the funds needed to add more depth.
Leeds are currently fighting for survival in the Premier League. They will look to establish themselves as regulars in the top flight. They need to keep improving the team.
Meanwhile, Joseph was keen on leaving Leeds United permanently last summer as well. He was heavily linked with clubs like Real Betis back then. The player will be desperate to sort out his long-term future in the summer and focus on his football. It remains to be seen whether Mallorca can secure an agreement with the Premier League club.
