Fernando Llorente nears Juventus exit

Spain international Fernando Llorente is expected to seek an exit from Juventus in the coming days, according to reports.

The talented striker is deemed surplus to requirements at the Old Lady following the arrivals of Paulo Dybala, and Mario Mandzukic this summer.

Italian publication Tuttosport claims that the former Bilbao star could find himself at a new club before the transfer window closes.

The report adds that Real Madrid currently head the chase, with newly appointed manager Rafael Benitez keen on having Llorente at the club for the season.
