He reported that the agents of Diego Llorente had asked Roma if it was feasible to terminate the defender’s loan.
Roma isn’t opposed to it, but she wants to look for a less expensive alternative first. Diego Llorente desires a position at PSG.
Whatever you want
Llorente is free to do as he pleases with Leeds because he is not a part of this team’s future.
Llorente quit the team in January 2023, just before they were relegated, demonstrating his lack of dedication and the fact that the team wasn’t counting on him to remain a member of the team.
Nothing has changed since then, and the only reason he was permitted to go on loan once more in the summer was the addition of a buy-option.
It doesn’t matter to the 49ers or Leeds whether Paris Saint-Germain wants to take over that loan agreement on the same terms as long as the team doesn’t end up getting shortchanged in the end.
It would be unexpected if Llorente joined PSG, but he is aware of the boss there and Roma is obviously willing to let him go, so this move is probably going to happen before the deadline at the end of the month.

‘A good opportunity’… The manager says he’s been looking at signing 20-year-old Leeds player this month
Leeds United are utilising the January transfer window to provide some of their youngsters much-needed regular game time.
Earlier this week, Darko Gyabi became the first U21 player to seal a move when he signed a contract to play for Championship team Plymouth Argyle, who will face Leeds in the FA Cup fourth round.
In his news conference on Thursday, Farke mentioned that Gyabi needed to go play football, which is regrettably the reason why his season hasn’t gone as planned.
There are still two players who could be out before the end of the month: Lewis Bate and Leo Hjelde, but at this point, defender Chris Moore appears to be the most likely to leave.
The 20-year-old is attracting the attention of Scottish Premiership team Hibernian, who even gave him the opportunity to participate in a friendly earlier this week.Manager Nick Montgomery has revealed more in an interview with the Daily Record.
Hibs taking a look at Leeds’ Moore
“We are taking a look at Chris Moore, the young defender from Leeds,” he declared. Since Lewis Miller was out and we only really had young Rory, I didn’t think we had enough players to come to the camp, so it was a good chance to check him out at right-back. It was also excellent for him and Kanayo to get some playing time.
Moore has played a lot for Leeds’ U21 team this season, but he is getting to the age where playing for the first team is necessary for his development.
Moore, who rose through the ranks as a center-back, has spent a lot of time playing right-back this season. Hibs are reportedly looking to add a right-back to the team, as Chris Cadden is out with an Achilles injury and Lewis Miller was selected for Australia’s Asian Cup squad.
Although Hibs’ interest in Moore was originally mentioned on the second day of the transfer window, it seems that they would prefer to give him a thorough evaluation before making an official statement.
With any luck, Moore will be able to secure the money he so desperately needs to launch his professional career.
