Fernando Llorente could find himself high up the wish list of AC Milan for a move from Juventus if Paris Saint-Germain striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic does not rejoin the Rossoneri.

30-year-old forward Llorente looks set to leave the Serie A champions with Tottenham Hotspur and Wolfsburg willing to take on the Spaniard’s €4.5 million yearly wages, with a transfer fee reported to be around €8-10m.

While the Diavolo are set to sign Sevilla forward Carlos Bacca, Tuttosport report that Milan will go for broke on signing Ibrahimovic before turning to Llorente, although the striker would prefer a return to Spain or a first attempt at cracking the Premier League.

That means Milan may run out of time to bring in Llorente, as they need to offload fringe members of the playing squad to raise funds; this involves winger Valter Birsa staying at Chievo while releasing Daniele Bonera, but attacker Stephan El Shaarawy should stay at the San Siro unless a €10m offer arrives.
