Diego Llorente will reportedly return to Real Madrid this summer to form part of their first-team squad for next season.
The 22-year-old is currently on a season-long loan at Rayo Vallecano, where he has impressed this term.
According to various reports in Spain, Los Blancos boss Zinedine Zidane has closely monitored Llorente's performances throughout the campaign and wants the defender to return to the Bernabeu for the 2016-17 season.
Llorente, who has made 26 La Liga appearances for Rayo this season, played under Zidane at Real Madrid Castilla.
