Fabrizio Romano has reported on Twitter that Leeds United defender Diego Llorente is about to return to AS Roma.

The Italian journalist has claimed that Leeds United defender Diego Llorente is set to move to AS Roma on loan in the summer transfer window.

The Spanish star spent the second half of last season on loan at Serie A club Roma from Leeds.

And, according to Romano, the £57,000-a-week (SalarySport) defender is now set to return to the Italian club on another loan deal.

The 29-year-old Spain international centre-back will stay on loan at Roma until the end of next season.

No big miss for Leeds

In our opinion, Leeds United will really not miss Diego Llorente if he goes back to AS Roma on a loan deal in the summer transfer window.

The defender has not really been at his best for the West Yorkshire club.

There have been injury problems for Llorente, and we do not think that he would be missed by Leeds.

The centre-back has been able to make only 51 appearances in the Premier League for Leeds so far in his career.

Llorente has scored four goals and kept 10 clean sheets in those games.
