Llorente has been quick to state that he will be leaving in June;
"I'm leaving on June 30. I want to try other things. I made [my decision] when I played my first match at San Mames in the Europa League [against Slaven Koprivnica on August 2]. Let it be clearly stated - it is not an economic issue".
Although Bilao will in fact be quick to try and get some sort of funds for their prize assest. Llorente went on to state;
"Athletic's offer was irresistible. The press has not really helped my renewal. It is one of the reasons that bad feeling has been generated towards me on the field [from the fans], and that's what has prompted me to not renew. That, along with many other things. You [the media] have not helped because most of what has come out in the press has been lies, but people have tipped the balance against me. That has come out on the field, with people blowing their whistles. It is [only] a section that wants me out, I respect that. I feel loved by most of the Athletic fans."
Now with most of the top clubs in Europe due to be after his signature it is unlikely that he will go to a club that cannot offer regular champions league football and this will come as a disappointment to all Spur's fans, but it is expected.
His signature would be good, but either way it would at least be nice to see him in the premier league.
Come on you Spurs!!
