Report: Real Madrid want Llorente

Real Madrid are reportedly interested in signing Juventus forward Fernando Llorente this summer.

The 30-year-old joined Juve from Athletic Bilbao in the summer of 2013 and has scored 27 times in 90 games for the Italian champions.

The Spaniard has struggled for regular football since arriving in Turin, however, and it is understood that he is keen on a return to Spain.

According to La Stampa, Real Madrid boss Rafael Benitez sees the experienced forward as a good option for next season and Los Blancos believe that they can acquire his services for as little as £10m.

Llorente scored 118 goals in 333 games during his nine seasons in the Bilbao first team.
