Diego Llorente is a Spanish international centre-back who brings quality and experience to the defensive line of La Liga side Real Betis. The 32-year-old, standing at 186cm, is a product of Real Madrid's famed academy, La Fabrica, though he made his professional name elsewhere. After loan spells at Rayo Vallecano and Málaga, he secured a move to Real Sociedad, where he developed into one of La Liga's most reliable defenders, earning his first caps for Spain. A transfer to Leeds United in the English Premier League followed, where he showcased his ball-playing ability and toughness in one of the world's most demanding leagues. Now back in Spain with Betis, Llorente combines physical strength with excellent technical skills, allowing him to build attacks from defense. His honors include a Copa del Rey triumph with Real Sociedad and being part of the Spanish national team squad for major tournaments. A modern defender comfortable in possession, Llorente remains a key figure for both club and country.
