Llorente close to Madrid?

By Football Italia staff

Reports claim Juventus striker Fernando Llorente is close to agreeing a move to Real Madrid.

The Spanish international’s future in Turin is uncertain, with Simone Zaza, Mario Mandzukic and Paulo Dybala all joining the club this summer as additional striking options.

Tuttosport believes that despite interest from Porto and Tottenham Hotspur, Rafa Benitez is keen to bring Llorente to Real Madrid.

The sports daily claims there is a good chance of a positive outcome to negotiations, with talks advancing with the player.

The newspaper believes a deal could be announced at some point in the next week.
