Real Madrid have reportedly declared their interest in Juventus striker Fernando Llorente.
The Spaniard is considered expendable following the emergence of fellow countryman Alvaro Morata, as well as the recent arrivals of Mario Mandzukic, Simone Zaza and Paulo Dybala.
La Sexta reports that new Real Madrid coach Rafa Benitez has requested the signing of Llorente as he seeks depth at the centre-forward position given that Karim Benzema is the only true no.9 currently in the squad.
The Spanish international is also thought to be a target for Liverpool but a return to his homeland is likely to be his preferred option.
Llorente, a product of Athletic Bilbao’s youth system, spent eight seasons in the first team and scored 85 goals for the Basque club.
The 30-year-old moved to Juventus in 2013 and struck sixteen goals in his first season, but added only seven in 2014/15, as his playing time decreased due to the successful strike partnership of Carlos Tevez and Alvaro Morata.
