Sevilla completes signing of Fernando Llorente from Juventus

Fernando Llorente's return to Spain is complete as the striker moves to Sevilla on a permanent transfer from Juventus.

Llorente joins the defending Europa League champions after signing a three-year contract, with a €20-million buyout clause. The Spanish striker's move to La Liga was completed when his contract with Juventus was terminated by mutual consent, the Serie A side confirmed.

The move comes two years after Llorente joined Juve from Athletic Bilbao in 2013.

Despite scoring 27 goals in 92 appearances, the 30-year-old's participation in Juventus' first team was reduced behind Carlos Tevez and Alvaro Morata last season, and didn't show any signs of improving with the arrival of Mario Mandzukic and Paulo Dybala.

His arrival at Sevilla will offset the departure of Carlos Bacca after the striker joined AC Milan in July.
