Leeds United allowed Diego Llorente to return to AS Roma on another loan deal earlier this month. The Serie A side have also been working to sign his Whites teammate, Rasmus Kristensen, in the summer window.
On Wednesday, we relayed news from Italy that the 25-year-old’s exit from Elland Road should be completed in the next few days. It was also stated the negotiations between the two clubs have reached an advanced stage.
Sky Italia now explain that it’s going to be a ‘hot weekend’ for Roma to seal the deal for the Leeds right-back.
The report adds the Denmark international will undergo medical tests with the Italian club over the weekend and then start training under José Mourinho’s orders from Monday.
It’s claimed the defender, who has a contract at Leeds until 2027, will join the Giallorossi on a dry loan deal.
Sky say Kristensen is ‘almost there’ and there are a ‘few days left’ before he becomes a new Roma player.
The Dane scored three goals and registered an assist from 30 games in his debut season at Leeds.
