Sevilla, Stoke and Palace for Llorente
Sevilla, Crystal Palace and Stoke City joined the race for Juventus striker Fernando Llorente.
The Spanish forward is on the market for €12m after the arrival of Mario Mandzukic, Paulo Dybala and Simone Zaza.
According to Sky Sport Italia, Sevilla are the latest club to show an interest in Llorente for this season.
A return to La Liga would help him to feel at home, two years after he left Athletic Bilbao as a free agent.
Europa League winners Sevilla have already reinforced their front line with Ciro Immobile on loan from Borussia Dortmund, having sold Carlos Bacca to Milan.
Today the Sunday Express claims Crystal Palace and Stoke City have also joined the race for Llorente, the latter having failed to snatch Xherdan Shaqiri from Inter.
There’s a growing list of pretenders, adding to existing interest from Manchester United, Arsenal, Tottenham, Real Madrid and Monaco.
Llorente is currently nursing an ankle problem and could well be left out of Juve’s Italian Super Cup squad against Lazio in Shanghai, Football-italia.net reported.
