Rodrigo blasts Leeds split and Bielsa rift claims

Rodrigo Moreno has blasted reports that he wishes to quit Leeds United and return to Spain.

Reports in Spain recently said the 30-year-old was ready to leave Elland Road and had asked permission to move in the upcoming summer transfer window.

Marcelo Bielsa launched a staunch defence of the forward in his press conference before the 2-1 win over Fulham and now Rodrigo has taken to social media to clarify his feelings.

“I'm not a person to comment on nonsense stories, however in this case I want to make it clear that stories about me wanting to leave Leeds and a bad relationship with Marcelo are false," he wrote on Instagram.

“I am very sorry that some people try to misinform our fans - my feelings are the opposite.

“I am happy, focused and working hard to help my teammates to end this great season in the best possible way. I love being at @leedsunited, I respect my coach and I identify with this Club!

“Come on Leeds MOT."
