The situation
Marcos Llorente's situation is a contract story before it is a transfer story. His Atlético de Madrid deal runs until 30 June 2027, and with six months left on it when the January window opens, Liverpool could move to agree a pre-contract with him from 1 January 2027 if he has not extended by then. Atlético, for their part, are said to be confident of tying him down to a new deal, which is the main obstacle to any of this happening at all.
The reporting
Graeme Bailey first reported it on 25 September, naming Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City as keen on Llorente while his contract situation ran down, with Atlético confident of keeping him. More than a month later, El Gol Digital carried the story again on 1 November, adding Barcelona to the list of interested clubs but offering no formal bid or agreed terms, just continued interest tied to whether he renews. Both recent posts repeat the same report rather than adding fresh detail, and no trusted reporter has backed any of it.
The outlook
The chance of this move happening by the end of the January window is slim. Nothing can proceed as a transfer fee deal unless Atlético decide not to renew him, and even then Liverpool would only be able to agree terms for a free move next summer, not a January signing. With Atlético reportedly confident of a new contract, the whole idea may not advance at all.
What to watch
The trigger to watch is simple: whether Llorente signs an extension with Atlético, or whether his camp instead opens talks with Liverpool once the window turns on 1 January 2027.
