Chus Llorente, brother of Juventus striker Fernando, has revealed that the player wants to stay with the club.
The 28-year-old was one of the Bianconeri’s big signings this summer, along with Carlos Tevez, after he joined from Athletic Bilbao, but there have been many rumours as of late that he may leave the Serie A side in January to play on loan with Real Madrid or Barcelona.
Llorente spoke to Tuttosport about his brother’s situation at Juve and claimed that he has no wishes of leaving.
“No, I do not speak on this,” said the sibling.
“I do not want to say anything and I haven’t said anything.
“And, most importantly, there is nothing to say. Fernando wants to stay at Juventus, period.”
Many rumours of a January transfer have been linked to the striker’s apparent struggle to assimilate into The Old Lady squad, though both the club and the player have assured that everything is fine in recent weeks.
