Fernando Llorente Juventus 3-0 CagliariFernando Llorente could leave Juventus at the end of the season with up to five Premier League clubs interested in capturing his signature.

Llorente, 30, joined Juventus from Athletic Bilbao in 2013 on a free transfer but could be set to leave the Bianconeri this summer with two years still to run on his contract.

The Premier League would seem the likeliest destination with five clubs reported to have declared an interest in the Spanish forward, according to TuttoJuve.com, who would likely cost around €10 million.

Tottenham Hotspur want to compliment their free-scoring forward Harry Kane with Llorente’s experience, whilst Liverpool are trying to offload Mario Balotelli and could look to the Juventus striker as a replacement.

West Ham United and Everton are also interested and Aston Villa could be set to step-up their interest if they can maintain their Premier League status.
