Juventus striker Fernando Llorente unaware of Monaco interest

Llorente unaware of Monaco interest

Fernando Llorente has insisted that he does not know anything about speculation that has linked him with a summer switch to Monaco.

Juventus have recently signed strikers Mario Mandzukic and Paulo Dybala, which has resulted in suggestions that Spanish international Llorente will be deemed surplus to requirements in Turin.

Those circumstances have reportedly alerted Ligue 1 outfit Monaco, but the newly-wed 30-year-old has stressed that his future will only be sorted once he has spoken with his current employers.

"Right now my intention is to stay at Juve. I'll have to talk to the club and see what they tell me. Monaco? I don't know anything about that. I've just got married so I'm going on my honeymoon," he told Mediaset.

Llorente, who joined Juve from Athletic Bilbao in 2013, has gone on to score 27 goals for the Italian champions.
