Sevilla aim to tempt Llorente away from Juventus

Sevilla president Jose Castro says the club must be patient as they try to lure Fernando Llorente away from Juventus.

The Spanish striker has been linked with a move away from Turin after a disappointing 2014-15 campaign.

The arrivals of Mario Mandzukic and Paulo Dybala mean he is expected to find playing time hard to come by this term and Sevilla have already shown an interest.

However, the club chief insists there is still plenty of time left before the transfer window closes and they are willing to wait to get their man.

"As long as the market is open and there are opportunities to exploit, we will be there," he told Marca. 

"If Unai Emery asks for some players, we will intervene to try to please him. With Llorente, we must still have patience. 

"Just now we prefer to think about the big Uefa Super Cup game against Barcelona."

Sevilla are looking to build on last year's Europa League win by beating Champions League holders Barca in Tbilisi on Tuesday.

"Winning the Super Cup would be exceptional," Castro said of the occasion. "I'm sure every player will give the maximum from the first minute to reach the goal.

"Just being here is a great achievement, we'll try to get something more."
