According to Evans, several teams expressed interest in Joseph, each asking for an option to buy, but Leeds refused.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mateo_Joseph_needed_time_for_the_game\"><\/span>Mateo Joseph needed time for the game<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;He needed minutes and part of the reason I wondered why he was on loan was that all the teams that were taking him on loan were demanding buy options,&#8221; Evans was quoted as saying by the BBC.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We simply said there&#8217;s no way for this player to get options.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur hope is that he has an incredible season in Mallorca and will return.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s a favorite of the club and the president, so I hope he&#8217;s great.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"my-2 (&amp;+p):mt-4 (&amp;_strong:has(+br)):inline-block (&amp;_strong:has(+br)):pb-2\">Joseph&#8217;s departure continued in a turbulent preseason, during which tensions began with Leeds manager Daniel Fark. The striker reportedly was unhappy with what was perceived as a lack of support from the German coach and chose not to re-enter training with the club.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Will_Joseph_be_back\"><\/span>Will Joseph be back?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mateo Joseph watches during Leeds vs Millwall (Photo: George Wood\/Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"my-2 (&amp;+p):mt-4 (&amp;_strong:has(+br)):inline-block (&amp;_strong:has(+br)):pb-2\">At Malorca, Joseph has the opportunity to prove himself on the bigger stage of Laliga.
