Diego Javier Llorente Ríos (Spanish pronunciation: ['djeɣo ʎo'ɾente 'ri.os]; born 16 August 1993) is a Spanish footballer who plays for Rayo Vallecano on loan from Real Madrid as a central defender.

Club career

Born in Madrid, Llorente joined Real Madrid's youth system in July 2002, one month shy of his ninth birthday. In the 2012–13 season he made his senior debuts, appearing with the C-team in a 1–1 away draw against Caudal Deportivo for the Segunda División B championship.[1]

On 24 March 2013 Llorente made his first appearance with Real Madrid Castilla, coming on as a substitute for injured Iván González in an eventual 4–0 home win over Córdoba CF.[2][3] On 11 May he was an unused bench player for the main squad, in a La Liga match at RCD Espanyol,[4] but finally made his debut in the competition on 1 June, replacing Álvaro Arbeloa for the dying minutes of the last game of the campaign, at home against CA Osasuna.[5]

On 14 July 2015, Llorente moved to neighbouring Rayo Vallecano in a season-long loan deal.[6]
