Leeds United have agreed to sell Diego Llorente to Real Betis for a reduced fee of €3.25million (£2.75million), paid over three instalments. The Spanish international center-back has signed a four-year contract with the La Liga club, bringing an end to his three-year stint at Elland Road.
Llorente’s departure is the latest in a series of player sales by Leeds United this summer, as the club looks to clear out players not part of their plans. The 30-year-old spent the last 18 months on loan at Roma, making 59 appearances for the Whites before opting for a new challenge in Spain.
While the fee is lower than the verbal agreement in place with Roma, Leeds United will still make a profit on Llorente’s contract extension. The sale also clears his wages from the books, improving the club’s financial situation.
Leeds United confirmed the sale on their website, wishing Llorente well for his future career. The statement contrasted with the one issued for Marc Roca’s departure, highlighting the different circumstances surrounding the two players’ exits.
Estadio Deportivo reports that Real Betis will pay the transfer fee in three instalments, with Llorente signing a four-year contract. The deal represents a significant reduction from the €5million (£4.22million) fee Roma were willing to pay before dropping out of the race.
Llorente’s sale continues Leeds United’s summer clearout, with the club looking to reshape their squad ahead of the new season. While the fee may not be the highest, the sale represents a profit for the Whites and clears wages from the books, improving their financial situation.
