Chelsea push Swansea to cut Llorente price

Chelsea are pushing Swansea City to sell Fernando Llorente.

The Daily Star says the Spanish international, 32, was the subject of two offers from the Blues in January.

But Swansea refused to sell at that time because they were involved in a relegation battle.

Llorente, who played under Antonio Conte at Juventus, remains a target although Chelsea are not prepared to meet his current £30m price tag.

They want to pay around £15m for the ex-Sevilla and Athletic Bilbao forward who finished as the Swans' top scorer last season with 15 goals in 33 league games.
