Fernando Llorente spoke about Juventus and revealed that he would love to see Barcelona star Raphinha wearing the Bianconeri shirt.

Fernando Llorente Reveals Who He Would Sign for Juventus

Juventus remains a special club for Fernando Llorente, who represented the Bianconeri between 2013 and 2015 and won two Serie A titles. Now, the former Spanish striker has spoken about his former team again, naming a player who happens to be the captain of FC Barcelona.

In an interview with Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport, Llorente was asked which player he would like to see wearing the Bianconeri shirt. His answer caught attention, as he singled out Raphinha, who is enjoying an impressive spell with the Blaugrana.

“I Dream of Seeing Raphinha at Juventus”

The former Spain international did not hold back when explaining his choice. “If I can dream, I imagine Raphinha from Barcelona at Juventus. He is a complete forward: he scores goals and gives his teammates a boost. He is on fire,” he said, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.

For now, his comments reflect a personal wish rather than a confirmed negotiation between Juventus and Barcelona. However, they highlight the recognition Raphinha has earned among prominent figures in European football.

Raphinha Takes on a Bigger Role Under Hansi Flick

The Brazilian has become an important part of Hansi Flick’s Barcelona. At 29, he was appointed the team’s first captain this season, a responsibility that reinforces his leadership role within the dressing room.

His versatility allows him to adapt to different attacking roles, a valuable asset for a team looking to maintain its intensity throughout matches.

Would the Brazilian Fit in at Juventus?

Turning Llorente’s dream into a real transfer would depend on several factors, including Barcelona’s stance, the player’s contractual situation, and the financial feasibility of a potential deal.

For now, the former striker has made his choice clear. Raphinha is the player he would love to see in Turin, although the Brazilian’s immediate future remains tied to Barcelona.
