Agent tightlipped on move away for Arsenal, Real Madrid target Llorente

The agent of Fernando Llorente is tightlipped on the prospect of move away from Juventus in January.

The centre-forward, having failed in to settle in Turin, has been linked with Real Madrid, Barcelona, Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham in recent days.

One of the player's agents Marco Antonio Diaz Cordero is now quoted in Italy, suggesting that Llorente is not looking to move.

Calcionews24 quote Cordero as saying: "He hoped to have a better start with Juventus but it's early and it's normal that (coach, Antonio) Conte relies upon players he already knows well.

"Requests from other teams? Real Madrid made an offer to Bilbao in the past, but they had not found the agreement with Athletic. And many other clubs asked about him, but when there was the opportunity to come to Juventus, and Llorente was thrilled to accept it.

"Currently no club got in touch with me for January and in any case the clubs must speak with Chus, the player's brother. But Fernando is aware of his qualities and he wants to play his cards at Juventus."
