Spanish newspapers claim Barcelona will make a €12m bid for Juventus striker Fernando Llorente.
The headline of Catalan paper Sport reads: ‘Surprise transfer’ and lists Luis Enrique’s desire to sign a more physical ‘Henrik Larsson’ type of centre-forward.
Llorente is the main candidate with Manchester City’s Edin Dzeko as the alternative.
It would be a more than viable idea for all concerned, as Llorente arrived on a free transfer when his contract expired with Athletic Bilbao in June 2013.

It would be a more than viable idea for all concerned, as Llorente arrived on a free transfer when his contract expired with Athletic Bilbao in June 2013.
Juventus would therefore make pure profit by selling him on and it could be in the region of €12m.
Tottenham have also shown an interest in swooping for Llorente if they can’t get Simone Zaza from Sassuolo.
Llorente has dropped down the pecking order at Juve behind Alvaro Morata, who is also on the front pages of the Spanish papers after scoring his first senior goal.
Morata got the winner in a hard-fought 1-0 qualifier against Ukraine on Friday.
