Leeds United player to have medical with another club this weekend

Diego Llorente went back to AS Roma on another loan deal this month from Leeds United.

The Serie A club have also been trying to sign his Whites colleague, Rasmus Kristensen, in the summer window.

On Wednesday, we reported news from Italy that the 25-year-old’s departure from Elland Road should be done in the next few days. It was also mentioned that the talks between the two clubs have reached a final stage.

Sky Italia now say that it’s going to be a ‘busy weekend’ for Roma to wrap up the deal for the Leeds right-back.

The report adds the Denmark international will have medical tests with the Italian club over the weekend and then join José Mourinho’s squad from Monday.

It’s claimed the defender, who has a contract at Leeds until 2027, will move to the Giallorossi on a loan deal without an option to buy.

Sky say Kristensen is ‘very close’ and there are a ‘few days left’ before he becomes a new Roma player.

The Dane scored three goals and provided an assist from 30 games in his first season at Leeds.
