Spanish striker Fernando Llorente has claimed that he has always wanted to play for Real Madrid.

The 37-year-old is currently without a club since leaving Eibar at the end of the season after years playing for teams like Athletic Club, Juventus, Tottenham Hotspur, Sevilla and Napoli.

“I would have liked to wear white. Real Madrid are incredible what they are doing in the Champions League and what we experienced last season,” Llorente told El Larguero.

“I was never close to Real Madrid. Whenever they wanted me, they didn’t pay the clause and then Juventus was faster.”

Llorente, who is still on the lookout for a new club this season, also added that he would jump at the chance to join for Real Madrid if an opportunity presented itself.

“I would go to Real Madrid for free tomorrow,” he added.
