Mateo Joseph new offer ready after huge Leeds transfer demand
Mateo Joseph could soon leave Elland Road as Daniel Farke takes charge of Leeds United in the Premier League.
The Spanish centre-forward struggled for game time at the Whites this season as they won the Championship title.
With the West Yorkshire outfit playing English top-flight football next season after a two-year absence, fans expect a major squad overhaul in LS11, and Joseph is a prime candidate to leave Elland Road.
49ers Enterprises must back Farke this summer to build a competitive squad capable of surviving immediate relegation, but outgoings will evidently be required as well to build a balanced team.
Real Betis want Joseph transfer again after huge Leeds United demand in winter window
Real Betis are once again interested in signing Joseph after being deterred by huge demands from Leeds in the winter transfer window, according to ABC.
The news outlet reports (10 June) that the Verdiblancos believe they could offer the 21-year-old with enormous potential a chance to further his development away from Elland Road.

| Championship | 39 | 3 | 3 |
It’s been claimed that the Whites are open to negotiations for the Spain Under-21 international this summer, and talks with Manuel Pellegrini’s team are already underway.
Farke didn’t have much faith in the young centre-forward this season, potentially giving the La Liga outfit hope of concluding a deal for a reasonable price.
Farke will need new striker after Joseph transfer to Betis
Joel Piroe was the first-choice striker at Leeds in the current campaign, and the Dutchman didn’t disappoint, winning the Championship Golden Boot.
Patrick Bamford has seen his influence at Elland Road dwindle, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see him leave in the summer transfer window.
If the English centre-forward and Joseph are sold this summer, that would leave Farke with a dearth of attacking options.
Leeds will undoubtedly be working on bolstering their attack behind the scenes, but significant business will need to be completed to build a competitive team.
While Piroe was impressive in the Championship this season, he’s untested in the Premier League, and it wouldn’t be prudent to expect similar performances from the 25-year-old in the top flight.
Farke should ask for a reliable goalscorer as one of his priorities this summer, as the Whites look to survive relegation.
Joseph was given several opportunities at the start of the campaign, but failed to take them, and it feels like the West Yorkshire outfit are willing to move on from the youngster and refresh their attack.
