Marcos Llorente: 10 secrets of a future Real Madrid star

The announcement that Real Madrid president Florentino Perez will pay left-back Theo's release clause has everyone discussing the relationship between the two Madrid rivals, and who knows if a similar swap could happen with fellow Alaves teammate Marcos Llorente.

The Alaves midfielder, on loan from Real Madrid, has also enjoyed a breakout campaign and is highly regarded by Los Blancos' technical staff.

"Marcos Llorente wants to play for Real Madrid, but more than anything he wants to play, and Atletico Madrid is another great club where he could do that," said his father Paco.

The remarks are quite strange given the commotion over Theo's eventual move.

"What he wants is to play, if not at Madrid maybe he'll have to find another team," he reiterated.
