Defender Diego Llorente will return to Leeds United in the summer after AS Roma decided not to sign him on a permanent basis.
That’s according to Corriere dello Sport, who say the Italian side are already tying up a deal for Evan N’Dicka as a replacement.
The newspaper explains that Roma are close to finalising a deal for the Eintracht Frankfurt centre-back, whose contract with the German side expires in the summer. He will sign a five-year deal worth €2m a year to move to Rome.
He’s been on loan with the Italian side since the end of the January transfer window but despite him proving to be a ‘good player’ he will not be bought as Leeds are ‘demanding €18m’.
That, it seems, is a figure that Roma do not feel is value for money and so they are instead signing N’Dicka on a free transfer.
