REAL MADRID TO TARGET FERNANDO LLORENTE ?

More interesting Spanish Football rumour & speculation doing the rounds. Spanish TV has announced tonight in its news section that Real Madrid new Coach Rafael Benitez has solicited Spanish International & Juventus FC forward Fernando Llorente. Apparently its a top priority for Benitez who wishes a tall & agile forward to compliment with Benzema upfront & give the team extra playing options.

Same source comments that Llorente has reacted positively to the idea as his regularity at Juventus FC has been further "complicated" by the arrival of Mario Mandzukic who has similar playing characteristics, while fellow countryman & team-mate Alvaro Morata has his place secure for the time being. 

If this is true, it is not the first time that the 30 year old forward has been on the Real Madrid agenda. Before flying off to Italian Football from Athletic Club Bilbao he was closely connected with a possible transfer to Real Madrid. 

Stay tuned!
