Roma coach Mourinho yet to be convinced by Leeds defender Llorente

AS Roma coach Jose Mourinho may send Diego Llorente back to parent club Leeds United this summer.

La Gazzetta dello Sport have included the Spanish defender in their list of 'transfer mistakes'.

Llorente has played just three times for Roma, and received heavy criticism following his performance in the 1-0 defeat against Lazio in the Rome derby last Sunday.

Jose Mourinho introduced Llorente at the break, but the 29-year-old lasted just 33 minutes as he was replaced by Stephan El Shaaraway 12 minutes from time.

Leeds allowed Llorente to leave Elland Road on loan for the remainder of the season with an option to buy on transfer deadline day.
