Leeds United has received a bid of approximately £5 million from Real Betis for defender Diego Llorente, according to Il Messaggero. The Italian newspaper reported that Betis is eager to secure the former Real Madrid player’s services on a permanent basis, offering €6 million (£5.1 million) for Llorente, who spent the 2023-24 season on loan with Roma. If this transfer goes through, Llorente would join his former teammate Marc Roca, who recently completed a move to Manuel Pellegrini’s squad after a loan spell. Leeds is facing a busy transfer period, especially with the potential £40 million transfer of their young star Archie Gray to Brentford. Selling Llorente could be beneficial for Leeds, as he has been away on loan for 18 months, and the £5 million fee would help the club address financial concerns and reinvest in the team.

Sheffield United are eyeing a move for a Leeds United player that Daniel Farke is determined to keep this summer. Following their recent relegation to the Championship, the Blades aim to assemble a squad capable of securing their third promotion in seven years, and they seem to be targeting their Yorkshire rivals in this effort. At Leeds, the focus has been on potential departures, but aside from Jack Harrison’s loan return to Everton, no significant exits have been finalized despite the transfer window being open for nearly two weeks. Marc Roca is expected to move to Real Betis soon, but no other transfers from last season’s first team squad have been confirmed.

Real Betis eye move for Leeds United defender Diego Llorente

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.
