The Spanish player chose to leave to Atletico Madrid. Reported by the club’s official website, Llorente has signed a contract for five years and will be at Wanda Metropolitano until 2024. He only has to do a medical test before joining Diego Simeone’s squad.

The 2018/19 season does not seem to be a good season for Llorente, the player who plays as a midfielder started more on the bench and only appeared in 16 matches, even in La Liga he only appeared in seven matches and was never a starter.

After releasing several players such as Lucas Hernandez, Filipe Luis, Antoine Griezmann and Juanfran, Atleti seems to be moving to increase the strength of his squad, besides Llorente, Los Rojiblancos will also be claimed to be inaugurating Joao Felix’s transfer from Benfica.
