MADRID (Reuters) - Juventus forward Fernando Llorente will be in Seville later on Wednesday for a medical pending a switch to Europa League champions Sevilla.

Llorente, a former Spain international, had been given permission by Juve to travel to the Andalusian capital, the La Liga club said on their website.

The 30-year-old has struggled for consistency since joining the Italian champions from Athletic Bilbao two years ago and had limited playing time last season under coach Massimiliano Allegri.

Llorente has played 24 times for Spain, scoring seven goals. His last international was in November 2013.
