Real Madrid block Llorente's loan exit

Marcos Llorente will not be leaving this summer after Real Madrid turn down 20 loan offers for Spanish. 

The Spain U21 international only made three first-team appearances for Los Blancos since 2008, and has spent 2016/17 season on loan with Alaves. 

It has recently been claimed that Valencia have failed with a loan approach for the midfielder, and it is understood that 20 clubs have made offers for the 20-year-old in this summer's transfer window.

"That is considering that we have not replied to a single question in the past two weeks," Marca have quoted a Real Madrid insider as saying when asked about the interest.

Llorente, who was born in Madrid, joined Real's youth team at the age of 13.
