Real Betis are actively pursuing a transfer for Leeds United defender Diego Llorente this summer, as reported by MARCA. The Spanish club’s sporting director, Manu Fajardo, is closely monitoring Llorente’s situation, waiting to see if they can compete for his transfer. Despite Leeds United’s need for defensive reinforcements, Llorente’s departure would likely not cause much concern among fans. Having spent the last 18 months on loan with Roma, the Italian club’s interest in signing him permanently has diminished. Additionally, the sale of Marc Roca to Real Betis could also benefit Leeds, as they consider offloading players following their failure to secure promotion back to the Premier League.
