On long-term scout potential he's rated 47.4, ranking 281st of 389 in the La Liga. A seasoned veteran, he has been an ever-present (80.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.01 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Llorente.

Judged on this season alone, Llorente graded 50 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 11% of the 65 full-backs in the La Liga, on 9 clean sheets and 3.007 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 46 → 50). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 47, 45th of 65 of the 65 full-backs in the La Liga. At 31 Llorente is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 39.2 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Llorente missed 7 games through injury and 1 suspension (muscle, yellow cards, coach's decision) out of roughly 38 this season. The 29 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Clean sheets

3.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 29 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 80.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.17 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 94.5/100).

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.

Outlook

With a Rating of 47.4, Llorente carries the 45th-highest potential of the full-backs in the La Liga of 65. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
