'Mateo Joseph to force Leeds United exit' as alternative transfer ready
Moteo Joseph could potentially have to push for an exit from Leeds United amid transfer interest from Real Betis.
The 21-year-old struggled for consistent game time at the Whites last season, and it isn't surprising to see uncertainty around his future.
Betis want the Spanish forward from Elland Road, but the West Yorkshire outfit have been adamant about their demands for him.
With Joseph's move to the Estadio Benito Villamarin stalled at the moment, the striker may want to force his way out of LS11 after the latest update.
Betis eye alternative targets in attack as Joseph transfer from Leeds United quite remote
Betis are looking for alternative targets up front as a move for Joseph is at a standstill, according to Diario de Sevilla.
The news outlet reports (9 July) that the La Liga outfit made a serious attempt to sign the Spain Under-21 international from Elland Road, but have been unable to agree terms with the Whites.
It's been claimed that the prospect of the 21-year-old moving to Estadio Benito Villamarin is quite remote.

Joseph arguably won't be pleased about having to stay at the West Yorkshire outfit for another season and not get regular game time.
The young centre-forward will undoubtedly find it hard to compete with the likes of Joel Piroe, Willy Gnonto and Dan James to get into the starting lineup.
It wouldn't be surprising to see the Peacocks make further additions to their attack this summer, potentially leaving the Spanish striker with even more uncertainty about his role under the German manager.
Farke should sanction Joseph transfer at Leeds
Leeds have set their sights on Jeremie Boga, and the OGC Nice winger may not be the only attacker being looked at by the recruitment department in LS11.
The Whites added depth to their forward line with the addition of former VfL Wolfsburg ace Lukas Nmecha, but they arguably need more quality up front.
A reliable goalscorer could undoubtedly boost the West Yorkshire outfit's chances of surviving the drop from the Premier League next season.
It would make sense for Farke and the West Yorkshire outfit to sanction Joseph's transfer to Betis and invest that money in a better replacement.
