Llorente - JuventusJuventus striker Fernando Llorente may be heading back to Spain with former side Athletic Club in the summer.

The 30-year-old Spanish international has endured a difficult campaign on a personal level with the Bianconeri this season, with the towering striker even being replaced by Alvaro Morata in the first eleven in recent months.

El Correo report that Llorente may be heading back to La Liga in the off-season following the arrival of Paulo Dybala, with Sevilla leading the chase.

Athletic however have also entered the race for their former talisman, with coach Ernesto Valverde on the lookout for reinforcements up top, given their first-choice striker Aritz Aduriz is 34 years old.

It remains to be seen how the Athletic fans will react to the news, given the acrimonious circumstances in which Llorente left the club two years ago.

Llorente has netted eight goals in 42 appearances this term for Juventus.
