Juventus GM Beppe Marotta insists they can still sign Athletic Bilbao striker Fernando Llorente.
Juve are pushing to close a deal for the Spain international.
Marotta said: "Fernando Llorente could remain an objective, seeing as his contract expires in 2013. When the rules allow us to make an approach, then we'll see how it ends. At the moment it is a utopia to think he'll play for us."
