Despite having already secured the services of Hamburger SV attacker Ivica Olic, Bayern aren&#8217;t done on the transfer market yet.<\/p>\n<p>The recent injury woes up front convinced Bayern that they need to sign at least one more striker in order to be competitive at Champions League level next season.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, they have targeted Spanish forward Fernando Llorente as a possible addition. The 24-year-old has developed into the absolute star player of Bilbao this campaign and scored eleven goals in 27 league appearances.<\/p>\n<p>It remains to be seen though whether Bayern will succeed in signing the Spanish international. Llorente&#8217;s current Athletic Bilbao deal expires in 2011. Additionally, Bayern reportedly face stiff competition from several English and Spanish teams.<\/p>\n<p>Stefan Coerts, Goal.com\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-252663","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 -
