 A $89.5 million contract has been agreed between Leicester City and……

On the strength of standing achievements for the team, his out the Serie A club is eager to guarantee the future of the Spanish defender, according to Italian publication La Repubblica.

Llorente finished the previous season at the top level team, having first joined on loan in the January 2023 window.

Last summer, he rejoined the team after signing a second loan contract that included a buyout option.

This season, Llorente has made 21 appearances in the league and five appearances in the Europa League.

It has been reported that the 30-year-old’s permanent transfer will only cost €5 million (£4.2 million).

During the January transfer window, Llorente was connected to a move to PSG; nevertheless, he stayed at Roma over the deadline.

The Italian team plans to raise money by taking advantage of this transfer interest in the summer, seeing the £4.2 million fee as a steal.

Roma hopes PSG shows more serious interest in the center back since they need to sell the player quickly to improve their present financial situation.

The Leeds defender is still under contract with Roma, so it’s unclear if the French powerhouses will rekindle their interest in him. Regardless, the English team has little control over the matter.

After Leeds was promoted to the Premier League in 2020, Llorente first joined with the team in the summer.

The Spaniard, who reportedly cost £18 million, made 51 appearances for the Whites in the top div

ision before leaving for Roma a year ago.

After been relegated the previous season, Leeds is currently vying for promotion straight back to the Premier League.

Daniel Farke took over as manager of the Whites during the summer, and after 30 games, the German managed them to third place in the table.

Although opponents Southampton, in second place, have a game in hand, the difference between them and the automatic promotion slots is just one point.

Leeds defeated Plymouth Argyle 4-1 on the road on Tuesday to secure a trip to the FA Cup’s fifth round.

The Yorkshire team’s next game is a league matchup against nearby rivals Rotherham United on February 10 at home.

There isn’t much the club can do if Roma is able to complete this £4.2 million transaction with the goal of selling him again.

PSG is quite interested in Llorente because of his strong Serie A play. It would be a really wise move for Roma if they could carry out this plan.

Even if they are unable to, they still stand to gain something from the £4.2 million charge for such a crucial member of their team.

If Leeds’ plan does work, they will be blaming themselves for not negotiating a greater cost into the option to buy clause with Roma.
