The Spanish striker is currently a hot prospect in the transfer market and the club representatives recently admitted that the Spaniard has asked to leave during this summer.
Fernando Llorente is one of those players who have been linked to different elite European clubs for the past three seasons.
When many thought that he will be out, Bilbao always managed to keep him in the team. However, now the club’s representatives have revealed that the Spaniard has finally asked to move out from the Spanish club, and is not willing to sign a new contract with
them.
Even though last season Athletic Bilbao managed to impress football audiences all around the globe, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fernando-Llorente-c13671 wants to move out from the Spanish club as he is expecting to win some silverware.
While speaking about Llorente’s departure during this summer transfer window, the club’s representatives clearly stated that the player wants to move out in order to win trophies and not only for the money.
Bilbao had the opportunity to finish their season on a high, but they were unable to do it.
Their manager, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Marcelo-c23554 Bielsa, was expected to take his team to glory as he was considered to be one of the best La Liga managers last season.
However, despite taking his team into the finals of the Europa League and the Copa del Rey, he couldn’t fire them to glory and lost the match for two silver medals.
It is true that two silver medals for a team like Bilbao should be enough, but it seems as if Llorente is not happy with it and wants to move away from the club.
While speaking about Llorente, the club representatives stated:
“He and his agent informed us that his decision was that he would not extend his contract.”
“Essentially there was no economic reason and what had the most weight was choosing to take part in a different type of competition with more chances of success.”
With Llorente leaving the Spanish club, the mid-table La Liga side are going to have trouble finding a suitable replacement for him as they are famous for playing only players who are from the Basque province in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011.
