All roads lead to Rome, and some take them to continue to evolve in the first division. This is the case of the Spanish central defender Diego Llorente. After a rather successful six-month loan to AS Roma (25 TCC matches) – and a European epic ending with a defeat in the Europa League final against Sevilla FC, the native of Madrid found a Leeds condemned to relegation to the Championship after a 19th place in the Premier League. He will continue his discovery of Serie A since the international from La Roja (10 caps) is back for a second loan with the Giallorossi for the coming season.
“I am proud to be able to continue being part of the Giallorossa family. When I had the opportunity to come to Rome in January, I did not hesitate for a second and even less during this waiting period. I always knew that I would do everything possible to stay, not only to continue to be part of a historic club, but also to be back alongside my teammates in order to fight together, with our supporters, to achieve the goals we deserve. I’m sure we can achieve something fantastic together.”the 29-year-old said in the club statement.
