"Juventus" main target Fernando Llorente confirmed that he intends to leave his current club, Athletic Bilbao.
Goal.com reported earlier this week that the "Bianconeri" team has renewed their offer and is ready to pay 7 million euros for the Spanish player to the Basque team.
F. Llorente, although he stated that he will leave the Athletic team in the near future, admitted that making this decision was very difficult and painful for him.
"I am leaving Athletic Bilbao," the striker told Tuttosport. "This team has a good project, which can be fulfilled over a long period of time. Of course, it is painful for me to make this decision, but football is like that."
The 27-year-old footballer has been playing in Marcelo Bielsa's main team since 2004. During this time, Llorente has played 310 matches and scored 111 goals.
