Llorente set for Leeds United return
Corriere dello Sport claim AS Roma have decided not to sign Diego Llorente on a permanent deal this summer, despite conflicting reports from elsewhere.

The Whites are reportedly asking for €18million for Llorente this summer but Roma don't feel this is good value for money according to the report.
