United's plan to prevent Llorente renewing at Atletico

Atletico Madrid could not be happier with Marcos Llorente. He arrived from Real Madrid and Simeone has made him one of his key players. 

He arrived as a midfielder, but soon Simeone realised he could score goals and has put him in attack. Marcos Llorente is now enjoying one of the best moments of his career. 

His great performances together with those of Suarez this term have led to United taking an interest in him. According to the 'Mirror', Man Utd are planning to spend 70 million pounds to get the Atletico man. 

An offer which comes just as Atletico Madrid are working on a new deal for Marcos Llorente. If he accepts the new contract, he would be paid as much as Koke and Saul. 

Man Utd missed out on Marcos Llorente a year back. The English side were interested in gettinh him on loan, but were unable to get him to move to Old Trafford. United still want him and this time they are confident of preventing him penning a new deal at Atletico.
