If some sources are to be believed, Athletic Bilbao’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 in the January window.
The Spanish International will see his deal at La Liga get expired by the end of the season, meaning that Bilbao are certain to do away with him in January in order to make a money spinning scheme out of him.
It was expected that Llorente would leave http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 during the summer, after having drawn the attention of Premier League clubs such as Manchester United, Manchester City and Arsenal.
With the Citizens having upped their pursuit for Atletico Madrid star http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robin-van-Persie-c31380, Liverpool now face a less stiff competition in claiming his signature.
Besides, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Demba-Ba-c10812 as a solution to their attacking problems.
Even though clubs outside of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan, are also expected to enter the fray in January, Llorente’s desire to be a part of the Premier League might work to the advantage of the Merseyside outfit.
On the subject of his possible future, the striker is reported to have said, “I really like the Premier League and I've mentioned on more than one occasion that it's a league which appeals to me a lot.”
“I'm trying to keep it so that it is something which is managed by my brother and my representatives. That leaves me to focus on my football and help my team, Athletic, and nothing else.”
The Anfield chief, Brendan Rodgers, has been forced to call upon the academy players in order to make up for his limited options in the frontline. After failing to do successful business over the summer, the Reds need for an established attacker has become
ever more manifest as they have struggled to find the back of the net on consistent basis.
In order to boast his side’s chances of finishing inside the top four, the Ulsterman has confessed on scores of occasions that he plans on blooding reinforcements in January.
“I don't want to say a particular number but, at the top end of the field, we need that help and support. That might take two or three players to do that,” he said.
The fact that Liverpool’s depleted squad will provide him with the chance to quickly establish himself in the regular eleven is something which could tickle Llorente’s fancy. Besides, under the management of Rodgers, the Reds are operating with a playing
philosophy similar to that in La Liga, making the transition for the forward all the more easy.
