‘Tremendous’ Leeds player convinces loan club to buy him permanently, he will cost a ‘low price’.
Two of the eight senior players that left Leeds United on loan have already sorted out their next permanent move but Diego Llorente’s future remains up in the air.
Luis Sinisterra has agreed a permanent move to Bournemouth after leaving Leeds last summer for The Vitality Stadium. Robin Koch will complete a long-term move to Frankfurt when his Leeds deal expires.
Marc Roca is expected to return from Real Betis with the Spanish club unable to afford him while Rasmus Kristensen will also come back to Elland Road, failing to convince the Roma hierarchy to buy him.
Jack Harrison, Max Wober, Llorente and Brenden Aaronson’s futures are still up in the air. Jesse Marsch has urged Aaronson to leave Leeds and find himself a new club where he can thrive, and be able to shine.
Llorente meanwhile has clocked up 53 appearances for Roma in the 18 months he has spent on loan with the Giallorossi. Daniele De Rossi, who replaced Jose Mourinho, has been impressed with the Spanish star.
De Rossi even branded Llorente as “tremendous” recently and reports say he has convinced Roma to sign him permanently. Talks are scheduled but Leeds are expected to make a loss on their £18m investment.
