Arsenal and Liverpool target Fernando Llorente is reportedly set to meet Juventus officials on Monday in a bid to thrash out a deal that will see him leave Athletic Bilbao next month.

The Spaniard is a man in demand after he fell out of favour with Athletic's management over the summer.

The 27-year-old forward is out of contract at the end of the season and has so far refused to sign a new deal that would keep him in Spain.

And that has led to speculation that he will be sold in January, with Juventus currently leading the chase.

Tuttosport claim that the player and his representatives will meet with officials from Juventus and Athletic in Bilbao on Monday in a bid to secure a move.

But they also believe that Juventus are refusing to offer over £3.3m to sign Llorente in January, arguing that they would be able to sign him for nothing in the summer.

And if Athletic accept it will be up to the English sides to decide whether they want to match the bid.
