Juventus Fiorentina LlorenteOut of favour Juventus striker Fernando Llorente is set to leave the cub before the end of the transfer window, with Sevilla interested in the Spaniard.

Llorente has been deemed surplus to requirements at the Bianconeri and is expected to be moved on before the start of the season, the 30-year-old had been heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid but now a new contender for his signature has emerged.

Mundo Deportivo reports that Europa League champions Sevilla want to offer Llorente an escape route and have opened talks with Juventus over a transfer.

The Andalusians are looking to push the move through however and are hoping for an answer sooner rather than later.

Real Madrid remain the favourites to sign Llorente but it is becoming increasingly likely that the former Athletic Club striker will return to Spain.
