Sevilla interested in Real Madrid's Marcos Llorente
Zinedine Zidane and the Real Madrid boardroom believe that the team currently has no place for the youngster Marcos Llorente and hence want him to go on a season long loan. Sevilla have registered an interest in the midfielder who spent last season on loan at Alaves. The La Liga giants are seeing Llorente as a direct replacement for Steven N'Zonzi who is reportedly close to joining Juventus. Meanwhile, Manchester City are also keeping tabs on Llorente's situation.
