Athletic Bilbao have slapped a 28m price tag on Arsenal and Tottenham target Fernando Llorente.

The Spanish striker has refused to sign a new deal at the Basque club, rather than let the player go on a free next summer Bilbao president Josu Urrutia has stated that any suitors for his signature must meet the valuation set by the club.

He told Spanish newspaper El Confidencial. "If the player does not really want to be at this club, [someone] has to pay his buyout clause,".

As well as interest from Arsenal and Spurs Juventus have also taken notice and would be interested in taking the front man to Serie A.
