But Punta Pelota have today reported that the move could be hijacked by the Russian Premier League side.
Luciano Spalletti's team have already splashed out over €80m on Hulk and Axel Witsel in the summer, but could add to their burgeoning roster of foreign talent by bringing in the 27-year-old during the winter transfer window.
Antonio Conte's men were linked with a number of world-class strikers over the summer, but eventually had to settle for Nicklas Bendtner on a loan deal, that left many fans disillusioned with the side's transfer policy.
Llorente's contract runs out in June 2013, and has been caught in a war of words with Coach Marcelo Bielsa over the past few weeks, having been let out of Los Leones' side for a number of key domestic and European fixtures.
The Pamplona-born goalscorer has a minimum fee release clause of around €35m, with the Basque club determined to hold out for that amount.
