What we know
Liverpool are reportedly monitoring Marcos Llorente as his Atlético Madrid contract nears its June 2027 expiry, with several outlets framing him as a potential free-transfer target. TEAMtalk initiated the rumour on 25 September, stating the club is keen on the right-back.
Within days, CaughtOffside and Infobae echoed the interest, with Infobae adding that Atlético are racing to renew him. Yahoo Sports and TribalFootball followed on 28 September; TribalFootball widened the scope, naming Chelsea, Manchester City, and Bayern Munich as additional suitors tracking him for a 2027 free move. Fichajes.net, citing TEAMtalk, kept the story active on 31 October. The reports agree on Liverpool’s interest but differ in breadth: only TribalFootball names four clubs, while others focus on Liverpool alone or pair it with Chelsea. No outlet reports a formal offer, bid, or denial. Yahoo Sports attributes its version to Adrian Sierra.
Fichajes.net states Liverpool is watching his contractual situation closely.
