Diego Javier Llorente Ríos (born 16 August 1993 in Madrid) is a Spanish footballer who plays for Real Madrid Castilla as a central defender.

Club career

In July 2002, one month shy of his ninth birthday, Llorente joined Real Madrid's youth system. 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]
