<!--Article Start--> . <h2 style="text-align: justify"><strong><em>Juventus forward Fernando Llorente has said he plans to stay at the Italian giants and knows nothing about the reported interest from Liverpool FC and Monaco.</em></strong></h2> <p style="text-align: justify">Fernando Llorente found his playing time reduced at Turin as the competition for a starting place in the attacking department consisted of two players in brilliant form - Carlos Tevez and Alvaro Morata.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">Juventus went onto win the Italian Serie A and the Coppa Italia as well as reaching the Champions League final, as Llorente mostly watched from the sidelines.</p> <p style="text-align: justify"><a href="http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/33198402">While Carlos Tevez appears set to join Boca Juniors</a> this summer, the Italian champions have already bolstered their forward options with deals to sign <a href="http://www.thehardtackle.com/2015/juventus-fc-complete-e32-million-signing-of-paulo-dybala/">Paulo Dybala from Palermo</a> and <a href="http://www.thehardtackle.com/2015/juventus-agree-fee-to-sign-manchester-united-target-mario-mandzukic/">Mario Mandzukic from Atletico Madrid.</a> Despite that, Llorente has no plans to move on with reported <a href="http://www.thehardtackle.com/2015/liverpool-chase-bacca-and-llorente-refuse-to-meet-bentekes-release-clause/">interest from Premier League giants Liverpool FC</a> and Monaco.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">Llorente said: a My intention right now is to stay. I need to talk with the club, and see what they say too. For sure there are many changes, but leta s hope we can continue to do as well as we have been doing in recent years."</p> <p style="text-align: justify">a If Tevez does leave, I will be sorry as he is a great man and a great striker.a <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/liverpool/11688896/Liverpool-go-cool-on-Aston-Villa-striker-Christian-Benteke-as-focus-switches-to-Fernando-Llorente-and-Carlos-Bacca.html">The Sunday Telegraph</a> had first confirmed that Liverpool FC were looking into signing the Spanish forward from Juventus alongside Carlos Bacca from Seville.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">The reports said :</p> <p style="text-align: justify"><em>a There is understood to be a a 30a million (A?21.4a million) release clause in Baccaa s contract, which Sevilla say has to be met, while Juventus may try to hold out for as much as a 20a million (A?14.3a million) for Llorente, but will probably let him go for less.a </em></p> <p style="text-align: justify"><em>a Liverpool are determined to add to their strike-force and had targeted Benteke, having signed Danny Ings for a fee to be set by a tribunal but which could be A?5a million to A?7a million, although they will not bid anywhere near the Belgian internationala s buy-out clause.a </em></p> <p style="text-align: justify"><em>a As that interest has started to cool, possibly to see whether Villa lower their asking price, Liverpool are examining the possibility of signing either Llorente or Bacca.a </em></p> <p style="text-align: justify">Well, it is a strange one, given that Liverpool FC play a style of football that is hardly what Llorente would directly fit into. Unless, the club are looking for more of a 'Plan B' approach, which is very much a possibility given their interest in the likes of Benteke and Rondon.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">Regardless, Fernando Llorente is not keen on swapping the white and black of Juventus for red of Liverpool FC, anytime soon.</p>
