The Spaniard has considering that been linked to a conscious move to effectively Real Madrid, but as per The Mirror, Juventus have instead suggested him to really United.

The 30-year-old emerged as a potential striking candidate for United following the announcement from manager Louis van Gaal in regards to a surprise signing.

The Gunners have reportedly been in contact with Juve over the possibility of signing the Spanish worldwide, who joined the Italian giants from Athletic Bilbao on a free transfer back in the summer of 2013. – Journalist Izzy Horsefield wrote for the Express.

United, however, run smack into competitors for Llorente from Real Madrid, who definitely are claimed to be in a position to demand when it comes to the 6ft 5in front-man.

“They have made an inquiry but there is no bid yet. But it is clear they are interested and it is also clear that Juventus are ready to listen.”- a source told The Sunday.

The towering talisman made 31 Serie A appearances last season but he only completed the full 90 minutes on six occasions, as he slipped down the pecking order behind Alvaro Morata – who was the preferred partner for Carlos Tevez.
