Marcos Llorente Moreno (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈmaɾkoz ʎoˈɾente moˈɾeno];[lower-alpha 1] born 30 January 1995) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a central or defensive midfielder for Real Madrid.

Club career

Born in Madrid, Llorente joined Real Madrid's youth setup in 2008, aged 13.[3] In July 2014, after impressing with the Juvenil squad, he was promoted straight to the reserves by manager Zinedine Zidane.[4]

On 24 August 2014, Llorente made his senior debut, starting in a 1–2 away loss against Atlético Madrid B for the Segunda División B championship.[5] He appeared in 25 matches during the campaign, totalling 1,637 minutes of action.

Llorente spent the 2015 pre-season with the first team, appearing in friendlies against Manchester City, Inter Milan and Vålerenga Fotball. He made his professional – and La Liga – debut on 17 October of that year, coming on as a second-half substitute for Mateo Kovačić in a 3–0 home win over Levante UD.[6]

On 10 August 2016, Llorente was loaned to La Liga club Deportivo Alavés for one season.[7] On 10 September of that year, he featured the full 90 minutes in a 2–1 win at FC Barcelona.[8]

On 23 September 2017, Llorente's contract was extended until 2021.[9] He made one appearance during the campaign's UEFA Champions League,[10] when Madrid won their third consecutive and 13th overall title in the tournament.[11]

International career

Llorente earned his first cap for the Spain under-21 side on 10 October 2016, featuring the entire 5–0 home defeat of Estonia for the 2017 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualifiers, in Pontevedra.[12][13]
