Speculation surrounding an imminent move for Juventus striker Fernando Llorente has gone into overdrive after Bianconeri coach Massimiliano Allegri omitted him from a squad for a pre-season friendly.

Allegri has called up a squad of 26 players for Juventus' friendly match against French side Marseille tomorrow and Llorente is nowhere to be seen.




The development will fuel speculation that the Spaniard is set for an imminent move, with him having been linked with a whole host of clubs this summer.

Earlier this week Llorente's agent was in London for talks with Arsenal, while Manchester United, Liverpool, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Tottenham Hotspur have all also been linked with the striker.
 

 

Llorente has been made available for the right price by Juventus after they snapped up Mario Mandzukic from Atletico Madrid and Paulo Dybala from Palermo.

Both Mandzukic and Dybala are included in Juventus' squad to face Marseille, as is former Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata.

Llorente moved to Juventus in 2013 after choosing to leave Athletic Bilbao following the conclusion of his contract with the club.
