Premier League target Fernando Llorente will not be sold by Athletic Bilbao this January.
The Spanish striker is a target for the likes of Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool but Bilbao president Jose Urrutia insists he will not be departing San Mames this winter.
"This player makes our team more competitive and his future will be decided by the club," said Urrutia.
"At the moment we need to maintain the quality level within our squad, not reduce it.
"Llorente will stay with us until the end of the season."
