Leeds United Football Club - Roque Junior Heading Out
Leeds United expect to part company with Brazilian defender Roque Junior later today.
The AC Milan centre-half is keen to leave Elland Road and the club are prepared to terminate his season long contract in West Yorkshire.
United are still waiting for final confirmation from his agent, but do not expect any problems.
The World Cup winner is said to be interesting Bundesliga side Hamburg, with representatives of the German club said to have flown to Milan to open talks over a permanent transfer.
His agent, Alessandro Lucci, also revealed he could return to Italy.
"There are two or three interesting offers for the player but we need this contract annulled," he said.
"Siena are one of the interested parties and I can confirm that Perugia are also interested."
Roque Junior joined United on a season long contract before the end of August from AC Milan, but has started just five Premiership games and has not played under Eddie Gray's stewardship of the club at all, although he has been recovering from an Achilles injury.
Roque made a total of seven appearances, scoring twice in the Carling Cup tie with Manchester United.
