The 29-year-old centre-half signed a three-and-a-half-year
contract extension with the club last month, but has struggled to force his way
into head coach Jesse Marsch's starting line-up.
Llorente has made 59 appearances in all competitions for
Leeds since joining from Real Sociedad in September 2020 for a reported fee in
the region of £18million.
The club said: "He helped Leeds finish ninth in his
first campaign, whilst last season helped the club retain Premier League status
for a second season.
"This term he has been restricted to just 13
appearances in all competitions, finding himself behind Cooper, Koch and new
recruit Wober in the defensive pecking order.
"We wish Diego all the best during his time at the
Stadio Olimpico."
Earlier in the day Leeds signed of 18-year-old centre-back
Diogo Monteiro from Swiss Super League side Servette FC on a
three-and-half-year contract.
