Although Madrid was asking for 50 million for his sale, there seems to be a consensus on a quantity of around 40 million. The player himself asked for his current team to lower his price, which Real Madrid ended up agreeing to do, as they are in desperate need of some cash in order to make up for this year's big signings.
The return of Zinedine Zidane to the Madrid bench has been LLorente's final push to leave. With Solari in charge, he had a special incidence, but the return of the French technician closed all the doors.
