Marcos Llorente wants January move

Catalan daily newspaper Sport has suggested that Real Madrid midfielder Marcos Llorente is keen on leaving Santiago Bernabeu.

The highly rated footballer returned to Madrid after a very successful loan spell with Deportivo Alaves, going on to sign a new four-year deal with the club.

However, Llorente was never given a real chance to shine at the Bernabeu, making just six league appearances this season.

This is why the 22-year-old hopes to leave los Blancos at the earliest opportunity, with Valencia, Deportivo Alaves and Malaga after his signature.

However, latest reports suggest that Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane is not ready to let Llorente leave as he sees the midfielder as a potentially important member of the squad in the future.
