Liverpool interested in Diego Llorente

Liverpool are one of a number of Premier League sides interested in signing Real Sociedad defender Diego Llorente, Sport Witness report via Mundo Deportivo

The Reds are set to rival Tottenham, Fulham and West Ham for the former Real Madrid man, and the Premier League sides could face a challenge from Los Blancos in the pursuit of Llorente.

Real agreed a €25million buy-back clause with Sociedad after the defender moved to the Anoeta Stadium on a five-year deal in 2017.

Sevilla are also rumoured to be interested in the defender, who has a release clause of €50million for clubs other than Real, and Liverpool could be in the best financial position to meet that clause.

The Reds have had a number of defensive injuries this season, with the likes of Dejan Lovren and Joe Gomez both recently having a spell on the treatment table, and Jurgen Klopp could look to Llorente to strengthen his defensive options in the summer.
