As he made his way out of the Bernabéu following an hour-long meeting with Real Madrid officials, Juanma López, representative in Spain for Álvaro Morata and Diego Llorente insisted that the meeting was not about the future of Juventus striker Álvaro Morata.

"We didn't talk about Morata - nor can we can say anything on the matter as today there's a very important game", he told reporters waiting outside the stadium. "We only discussed Diego Llorente. We'll see what happens next week. The club is looking for an outlet for Llorente and his future will be decided over the next few days".

When López was asked whether Villarreal could be an option for the defender, he replied: "There are a few clubs who are interested".
