A number of clubs are interested in acquiring the services of the out-of-favour striker as his contract talks continue to stall with the negotiators.
Many people were describing http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fernando-c13609 Llorente’s decision to turn down a new deal at San Mames money based, but reports near the player have suggested that all such talk is rubbish.
Llorente has been offered a really lucrative deal by the club and the figures that are reported are believed to be near the 5 million Euro mark.
Llorente has however stated that he will not sign a new contract and that it is not about money, as the deal offered was irresistible, in terms of money.
The striker’s denial to sign a new contract means that he will be leaving the club for free in June, as the Spanish side has ruled out a January transfer.
A number of top European clubs have lined up Llorente as their transfer prospect and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809, Juventus, Real Madrid and Tottenham have all put up their hands in the transfer battle.
Bilbao still however have a say on which team they would like to sell their star striker to. Athletic manager Bielsa will like his man to leave the country and will happily offload the striker abroad.
Juventus have been termed as favourites for the tall striker and he will suit the style of play, that the Turin based club executes.
Few people reject when Barcelona comes calling for you. Llorente is however a smart chap, and he knows that any player to join the Catalan giants must settle to play second sole, as the game play there is all based around argentine magician http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296.
A move to Spanish champions, Real Madrid, is also unlikely to happen as the player is leaving in search for regular first team football, and considering the quality in the capital sides squad, Llorente will have to wait for his chance.
Tottenham and Liverpool are also exciting prospects as they would both guarantee the striker plenty of playing time.
Seeing the interest of so many sides, only time will tell where Bilbao’s tall striker will end up actually.
