Interest across Europe in Athletic Bilbao striker Fernando Llorente continues to grow.

In recent weeks the Spain centre-forward has been linked with Real Madrid and Manchester United.

AS says Bayern Munich have now expressed interest in Llorente. The German giants are planning a major squad overhaul in the summer and have Llorente high on their shopping list.

Bilbao so far have insisted Llorente will not leave for less than his €36 million buyout clause.
