Atletico Madrid are still interested in landing Juventus striker Fernando Llorente this summer.

The 29-year-old is seen as the ideal replacement for departing forwards Diego Costa and David Villa.

TuttoSport report that the Turin side would be willing to sell a player despite the Spaniard having only been with the Serie A champions for one season.

Llorente arrived at Antonio Conte’s side on a free transfer, and the potential for huge profit has fuelled the Bianconeri to sell him on.

Similarly, Juventus are about to undergo an attacking clearout, with reports in Italy suggesting that only Carlos Tevez has been guaranteed a place in the squad for next season.

The former Athletic Bilbaio striker scored 16 Serie A goals last season.
