Real Madrid lead chase for Fernando Llorente?

Juventus striker Fernando Llorente has emerged as a summer transfer target for Real Madrid, according to reports.

The 30-year-old is rumoured to have dropped down the pecking order at the Juventus Stadium following the arrival of Mario Mandzukic from Atletico Madrid and Paulo Dybala from Palermo.

That has alerted new Los Blancos boss Rafael Benitez, who is considering an offer for the Spanish international, reports Tuttosport.

Llorente, who has scored seven goals in 23 appearances for Spain, joined Juventus from Athletic Bilbao in 2013.
