Latest news from FC Barcelona: Hansi Flick's team appears among the clubs interested in Marcos Llorente, a 31-year-old midfielder from Atlético de Madrid whose contract expires on June 30, 2027. Bayern Munich is also monitoring his situation, while the red and white club works on extending his bond.
The competition is not limited to Spain and Germany. Liverpool, Chelsea, and Manchester City are also keeping an eye on Llorente in case he reaches the final months of his contract without renewal. Liverpool, in fact, has recently gathered information on the interest of the three English clubs and Atlético's negotiations to retain the player.
FC Barcelona joins the race for Marcos Llorente
FC Barcelona has Llorente on its radar due to a contractual scenario that could make him a market opportunity. The player was born on January 30, 1995 and can play in various positions in midfield and at right-back, a characteristic that broadens the sporting alternatives for any interested club.
Bayern Munich's name is also linked to the player's situation. Reports published on September 26 place both the German team and Barça among the teams attentive to a possible transfer, alongside the three Premier League giants already following the case.
Llorente continues to feature for Atlético de Madrid during this early season. In the opening matches, he has been used as right-back, midfielder, and winger, and he was also a starter in the Champions League against Liverpool, scoring the red and white goal at Anfield.
His current contract stems from the renewal he signed with Atlético in 2021, extending his commitment until 2027. That date is now the focal point of his situation: if there is no new agreement in the coming months, he will enter the final stretch of his connection with the Madrid club.

Atlético de Madrid aims to secure his renewal
Atlético de Madrid's priority is to avoid this scenario. Reports this week indicate that the club is already in discussions with Llorente to negotiate new terms, with internal confidence in reaching an agreement that extends his tenure at the Metropolitano.
The presence of several suitors adds pressure to the timeline. Liverpool, Chelsea, and Manchester City are assessing the player's situation, while Bayern Munich and Barça complete the list of clubs linked to his future. As of now, there is no formal offer or negotiation from Atlético for his transfer, as reported by Adrián Sierra.

Llorente joined Atlético from Real Madrid in 2019 and has occupied various positions since then. This season, he maintains that versatility: he has played at right-back, in midfield, and on the right wing, with one goal and one assist registered in his first official games of the season.
The next step will be to see if the conversations between the player and Atlético end in a renewal before the season progresses. Until a new contract is in place, FC Barcelona and other interested clubs will have a specific reason to continue monitoring Marcos Llorente: his current link enters its final year and expires on June 30, 2027.
