Juventus and Milan fight for Fernando Llorente

Fernando llorente is going to be one of the names of the next transfer market. The 35-year-old Spanish striker has not yet played a minute with Napoli this season, but the list of candidates is growing little by little and they are becoming more and more important. In Serie A their value is highly esteemed and, in the last few hours, Juventus has joined the bidding. Tuttosport advanced the news that As has been able to confirm. Paratici probes a possible return of Llorente to Turin, where he already played between 2013 and 2016. Juve thinks of him so that he occupies a role of third forward and that he guards the backs of Cristiano and Morata. Llorente would have no problems and it would become a resource for games that frequently get stuck in Pirlo's team.

Llorente's is a profile that Juventus does not have and that for a team that chooses to win everything and play everything would be more than useful. The Turin club, despite the fact that Llorente has not played a minute yet so far this season, knows first-hand the physical condition of the player and has no doubts that he can help in an important way. In addition, Llorente enjoys the sympathy of the heavyweights of the locker room. He is close to Chiellini, Bonucci and Buffon, who consider him a player who enriches a dressing room. The idea that Paratici has in mind is Llorente who became a key piece during his last season at Tottenham to appear in a situation of need. That is the image that has led you to think of him. But he is not the only one, not only the Turin football director has thought of him.

Milan, as As has already explained, has also already asked about him. Llorente could also use Pioli wonderfully to prop up a somewhat short squad and have a guarantee substitute for Ibrahimovic, in addition to also handling the idea of ​​the resource to shake games. Llorente is a piece coveted by two of the greats of Calcio. In the last hours what has almost definitely moved away is the Sampdoria option. Genoa will not finally be his destination, but it is assured that Llorente will remain in Italy. He arrived there a year and a half ago and to benefit from the “Crescita Decree” that offers advantages to foreign players in Italy, at least he has to continue residing until the summer. Thus, the idea is to commit to an Italian club until his current contract with Naples ends in June 2021 and then re-analyze his future.

Meanwhile, we have to wait because Naples does not live a situation precisely at the forefront and that is why Llorente still, once the market is open, could have to wait. Gattuso has Osinhem and Mertens injured. The Belgian was the last to fall and an ankle problem could leave him out for three weeks. Meanwhile, the Nigerian forward is not expected before the end of the year. Naples has the Italian Super Cup on the horizon, next January 20, and Gattuso still does not know if Mertens will be in conditions. In addition, Milik does not count and a way out is also sought for him. Llorente awaits events and Napoli already knows that two rivals are seeking the forward.
