Diego Llorente has impressed in La Liga and could be offered the chance to move to the Premier League with Liverpool.
Liverpool are interested in a £26million move for Real Sociedad’s Diego Llorente after scouting the defender this season, according to Noticias de Gipuzkoa.
The Reds have been linked with a number of centre-backs in recent times with Jurgen Klopp’s backline currently stretched due to ongoing injuries to Joe Gomez and Dejan Lovren.
And reports in Spain claim that Llorente is on their radar with the summer transfer window just two months away.
Llorente has been in fine form for mid-table Sociedad with Liverpool the latest Premier League team to be linked with a move. It is reported that the Merseyside giants are hoping to bring the 25-year-old to Anfield at the end of the season.
A two-time Spain international who moved to San Sebastian after failing to make the grade at Real Madrid, Llorente is a rangy and ball-playing centre-half with an eye for goal. He scored seven times in all competitions last season.
He can also play in defensive midfield, meaning he would give Klopp plenty of options. With a £45 million release clause in his contract, however, it remains to be seen whether Sociedad would be willing to sell for a lot less.
