Having lost prominence at Leeds United after the first two months of this season, Diego Llorente went out on loan to AS Roma in the winter market.
The Serie A side have an option to make the defender’s stay permanent for €18m.
Initially, there were concerns over the Giallorossi exercising this option, but that no longer seems to be the case now if a report from Il Romanista is to be believed.
José Mourinho has started the centre-back in the last three matches, during which the Leeds owned player has impressed as Roma haven’t conceded a goal.
Although the redemption option is set at €18m, the report says Leeds ‘won’t put too much resistance’ to sanction Llorente’s sale in the summer, if they receive an offer of around €15m.
Last week, Llorente admitted he would like to extend his stay at Roma after this season, meaning the latest report would come as a boost in his desire to continue with the Giallorossi.
