One target is Diego Llorente, whose future at Leeds United remains uncertain. Relevo reports that Betis has offered Llorente a permanent contract, an appealing proposition for Leeds after their failed promotion attempt. However, Roma, where Llorente spent last season on loan, desires to extend that loan. Llorente is open to both options, but a move to Betis could enhance his chances of representing Spain internationally. If he joins, he will be the second Leeds player to join Betis this summer, following Marc Roca’s successful loan spell.

Having already lost Chadi Riad and Sokratis ahead of the opening of the summer transfer window, it is essential for Real Betis to recruit at least two central defenders before next season. A deal for Internacional defender Vitao is currently in the works, while moves have been made for another target.
That’s Diego Llorente, whose future at Leeds United is currently up in the air. The Spaniard will not continue in England, and according to Relevo he is being tempted by a return to La Liga with Betis, who are offering a permanent contract, which would certainly be preferable for Leeds, following their failed promotion to the Premier League. Premier League.
However, it is not that simple as Roma – who Llorente was with last season – want to tie the 30-year-old to a new loan deal. The player himself is open to either possibility, although a move to Real Betis would give him a better chance to stake his claim for a place in the Spanish national team.
If Llorente were to join Real Betis, he would be the second Leeds player to do so this summer, with Marc Roca set to sign permanently following his successful loan spell last season. A deal worth €4.5 million has been agreed between the two clubs.
