Real Madrid's Marcos Llorente a Sevilla target
Another injury for Gonalons means the defensive midfielder is wanted at the Pizjuan
Marcos Llorente is a prime target for Sevilla. After the new injury to Frenchman Gonalons, who will be operated on tomorrow in Lyon, the incorporation of the Real Madrid midfielder is a priority for the Andalusians, who, according to Sports Stadium, are already looking to loan him in the transfer market.
Signing a centre-back and a goalscorer were the duties that the sports staff, headed by Joaquín Caparrós, had for the winter market, but the unexpected new injury to Gonalons has changed the priority of the technicians. The Frenchman, who had already returned to the team after a first injury, has suffered a fracture in the tibial malleolus of his left ankle, during a game with the B team, which will force him to go into the operating room.
Sevilla need a defensive pivot that frees Banega and Vazquez from that work. And the chosen player is Llorente, who was already on their wishlist. The Madrid footballer, at 23, is not enjoying opportunities at Real Madrid with Lopetegui or now with Solari. His departure in January seems clear.
Several teams are attentive to the situation of Marcos Llorente. Villarreal, Betis, Alavés, Espanyol, even Napoli ... but Sevilla have already taken a first step and begun to test the water for his incorporation, even if it is on loan until the end of the season.
