Llorente was a part of the first team squad during the pre-season and AS are claiming that Zinedine Zidane was very impressed with the young midfielder.
The former French international has decided to loan the youngster so he can continue his development with regular first-team football.
The Real Madrid Castilla star will find it tough to break into the first team just yet and it is better for him to go out and gain some top flight experience. Real Madrid already have enough central midfielders in Kroos, Modric, Isco, Kovacic and Casemiro.
