Rival clubs are pushing Real Madrid to release Marcos Llorente on deadline day.

AS says Alaves are leading the race for Llorente's signature ahead of the market closing on Wednesday.

Sevilla were also interested in the defender, though they've now gone cold after snapping up Miguel Layun from Porto.

For his part, Llorente is eager to leave Real in the coming hours after finding his career stalling this season in Madrid.

Alaves are prepared to wait until the last minutes of the window to sign Llorente on Wednesday.
