10 Chelsea Transfers That Definitely Won’t Happen

9. Fernando Llorente

Athletic Bilbao striker Fernando Llorente has been linked with a move to the Premier League for months now, with the regulars Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea all believed to be interested in the 27-year old Spanish international. The Basque forward has scored an impressive 115 goals in 317 appearances for Bilbao, so it is clear to see why he is coveted. The player is also out of contract this summer, is free to talk to, and sign a pre-contract agreement with a foreign side right now, and could leave for nothing in the summer. Though a move away from Spain seems likely, it won't be to the Premier League or Chelsea. Italian Champions Juventus are believed to be holding talks with the player and his representatives and are on the verge of signing him. Source(s): Huffington Post
