Leeds United duo Diego Llorente and Rasmus Kristensen are not likely to be signed permanently by Roma after their loans, with Llorente’s £4.3million worth being weighed up.The 49ers are going to have to be planning ahead for the summer as loan players look set to head back to Thorp Arch after their temporary stints away.Which division Daniel Farke’s side end up in for 24/25 remains to be seen and that will have a major say on what will happen to a lot of them.Diego Llorente has made himself a key player for Roma this season, with injuries meaning that he’s been a mainstay at the back in the league and in Europe.However, the sacking of Jose Mourinho appears to have had an impact on his long-term future, according to Gazzetta Dello Sport.A €5million (£4.3m) option is present in the defender’s contract it seems, but Roma are presently not convinced enough to pull the trigger:To understand then the future of Diego Llorente, on loan, whose redemption from Leeds is set at 5 million. Not an exaggerated figure, which Roma might even decide to invest, but they are still not sure to do so.Another update comes in the form of Rasmus Kristensen, who is also at Roma this season, but is finding it much harder to have a positive impact.The same report names Kristensen as one of the players that Roma have already decided will be leaving at the end of his loan spell, with the 26-year-old expected back at Thorp Arch in the summer.Kristensen was excluded from Roma’s Europa League squad at the start of the season due to FFP reasons, meaning his involvement has been limited to Serie A action.With these two, there’s no future at Leeds for them, given that they just aren’t good enough for the Premier League if we go up, and won’t be wanted even if we stay in the Championship.Kristensen in particular has burned his bridges and needs to secure a permanent exit from Elland Road as he won’t be welcome back.It’s frustrating for us and the 49ers knowing that neither will be likely to be signed by Roma though, as that would have made life a lot easier.
