Llorente - JuventusFernando Llorente is expected to sign for Sevilla with Mauricio Isla also set to leave Juventus for the Andalusian club.

The Europa League holders have moved ahead of Real Madrid in their pursuit of Llorente and the player will travel to Seville before undergoing a medical and putting pen to paper on a deal with the La Liga side.

It is also understood that Mauricio Isla, who spent last season on-loan at Queens Park Rangers, will sign a contract with the Spaniards too after the two clubs opened talks concerning a deal for the Chilean.

The Bianconeri were hoping to strike a loan-deal with Sevilla for Llorente which would have been followed by an obligation on behalf of the Spanish outfit to purchase the player outright next summer for a fee of around €7 million.

According to the Spanish newspaper Marca, however, the 30-year-old is set to make the switch to Los Rojiblancos on a free-transfer whereby Juventus would be able to offload the player and make significant savings on his salary.

Llorente joined Juventus from Athletic Club in 2013 on a free-transfer and scored 27 goals during his two year spell in Turin.
