On February 7, the Italian media outlet stated that a number of clubs are interested in signing the Spanish center-back.
On February 6, La Repubblica reported that an agreement had been reached with Leeds to sign the 30-year-old for £4.2 million.
transfer to Roma comes as no surprise.
Leeds‘ decision to cut company with Llorente indicates that they have moved on from him although he may not have been the best match for the English game.
Joe Rodon and Pascal Struijk have already established themselves as a promising center-back tandem under Daniel Farke.
Leeds’ projected promotion to the Premier League might allow them to make even stronger signings, strengthening their defence.
Given Roma’s interest and the money involved in Llorente’s possible move, it appears that the Whites are willing to let him leave and pursue other possibilities to bolster their squad.
Hopefully, this money will be spent on someone deserving of bolstering the starting lineup and assisting the team in meeting its objectives for the upcoming season.
Even if Rodon signs a permanent contract, Farke may request that the board bring in another centre-back.
In other Leeds United news, the Whites might have moved quickly to sign a West Ham defender with only a few remaining negotiation points.
