Olympique Marseille are reportedly interested in landing Juventus striker Fernando Llorente once the 2014-15 campaign comes to a close.

The 29-year-old, whose current contract with the Bianconeri is set to expire in June 2017, has struggled to find his way under coach Massimiliano Allegri this season, especially with Alvaro Morata’s impressive form as of late, and it seems like he could be ready to make an exit from the Turin giants in the coming months.

According to the Daily Express, Marseille would be looking to secure the Spaniard’s services this summer in order to use him as a replacement for Andre-Pierre Gignac, who will be out of a deal with the French club come June.

Aside from the Ligue 1 outfit, Llorente has been linked with several Premier League teams including Arsenal and Liverpool in recent weeks as well.

The striker has scored four goals and provided one assist in his 20 Serie A appearances this term thus far.
