Llorente to join Sevilla ‘in days’

Sevilla will reportedly finalise their swoop for Juventus striker Fernando Llorente “in the coming days”.

According to Marca, the 30-year-old will arrive in Andalucia on a season-long loan after the Bianconeri unsuccessfully tried to negotiate an exchange deal with Real Madrid for Isco and then Asier Illarramendi.

However, confirmation of the move is not expected until Juve announce the signing of a new No 10, which increasingly appears to be Schalke star Julian Draxler.

Llorente has 24 caps for Spain and is best known to La Liga audiences for his prolific spell with hometown club Athletic Bilbao.
