Leeds United striker Mateo Joseph has told the club's hierarchy that he wants to change clubs in the January transfer window, according to TEAMtalk.
The report says head coach Daniel Farke and the club's hierarchy have accepted the player's position and believe a departure could be the best solution for all parties.
Joseph had already asked Leeds to let him leave in the summer of 2025 because he wanted to return to Spain. The striker eventually joined Mallorca on loan until the end of the season, with an option to buy.
However, his spell at the Spanish club was interrupted when he suffered a serious knee injury, forcing the loan to be cut short. The 23-year-old striker is now nearing a return to action.
Despite his recovery, Joseph remains uninterested in continuing his career at Elland Road, according to TEAMtalk. The opportunity to play regularly remains his main priority.
Leeds hope to agree a loan with an obligation to buy, while Mallorca are interested in taking the player back on loan.
Leeds are also willing to consider a loan with an option to buy if it allows them to agree the striker's departure this winter.
