Liverpool are reportedly keen on signing the Spaniard.
According to a report from Spanish publication AS, Liverpool have made a €25 million (£22 million) offer for Real Sociedad ace Diego Llorente.
The 25-year-old centre-back is a graduate from the Real Madrid academy, is a sound defender, and he would be a useful addition for the Reds.
Liverpool had one of the best defences in Europe this season, with Virgil van Dijk marshalling things at the heart of defence, but it could be argued that Jurgen Klopp needs to add another top class centre-back.
Dejan Lovren and Joel Matip have been inconsistent this season, although the Cameroonian did finish strongly.
Joe Gomez, meanwhile, has had numerous problems with injury, so the addition fo someone like Llorente might be just what they need.
Spanish media outlet AS actually claims that Liverpool have submitted a £22 million offer for the two-capped Spain international.
Llorente is a technically gifted defender and is very comfortable when in possession of the football.
Standing at 6ft 1in tall, he is decent in the air and possesses impressive pace.
He would undoubtedly be a useful addition for Liverpool, and if they manage to get him for just £22 million, it would have to be classed as good business for the Merseyside outfit.
