He started his career with Athletic Bilbao, working his way through the various youth ranks and, after making his first team debut in 2005, becoming one of the most important offensive players for the club in the following decade. He scored 29 goals in all competitions in the 2011–12 season, and was described as a "Bilbao legend".[4][5] He signed with Juventus in 2013, and won the Serie A title twice during his two-year spell there. Subsequently, he spent 2015–16 back in Spain with Sevilla before moving to Swansea City in 2016 and Tottenham Hotspur the following year, reaching the 2019 Champions League final with the latter. He retired aged 38, following stints at Napoli, Udinese and Eibar.
After scoring four goals for the B's in the first half of the season, Llorente was rewarded with a contract extension until June 2008.[11] On 16 January 2005, he made his first-team and La Liga debut in a 1–1 home draw against Espanyol.[12] Three days later, in a Copa del Rey match against Lanzarote, he scored a hat-trick in a 6–0 victory.[13] He went on to feature in all but five of the nineteen remaining league games, scoring three goals, and also played in four domestic cup matches and the UEFA Cupround of 32 tie against Austria Wien.[14]
Before 2005–06, Llorente exchanged his squad number of 32 for the number 9 jersey.[15] He scored on the opening day, a Basquederby 3–0 win over Real Sociedad[16] but, throughout the campaign, found goals hard to come by. This could be partly attributed to a series of injuries including a knee strain,[17]gastroenteritis[18] and a muscle injury.[19] He ended the season with just four goals, two in the league and as many in the Cup, both against Hospitalet.[20]
On 13 July 2006, Llorente signed a new contract until June 2011, which included a buy-out clause of between €30 and 50 million.[21] He started the season as arguably the club's fourth-choice striker, behind Aritz Aduriz, Joseba Etxeberria and veteran Ismael Urzaiz. The team's poor form and lack of goals led to coach Félix Sarriugarte rotating the players, allowing Llorente to force his way back into the side; he ended the campaign with only two goals in 23 matches, although he did score an important one in the closing minutes of a 1–1 draw at Valencia.[22]
In preparation for 2007–08, Llorente scored six goals in as many pre-season matches, and another against Numancia in the Caja Duero Trophy. His form led to him becoming Athletic's first-choice forward, and although he started the campaign poorly, he ended it with a total of 11 league goals as the side finished in mid-table. His tally included four goals in two games against Valencia, both impressive wins,[23][24] and further strikes against Barcelona,[25]Villarreal[26] and Atlético Madrid.[27]
Before 2008–09, Llorente was confident of a successful season. "I know that I am capable of scoring goals and having a good year and I want to start this term in the same form that I ended the last one in" he said.[28] Despite the team's modest start he scored 14 league goals – a career-best – with another four in the Cup, helping his team reach the final against Barcelona (a 4–1 loss).[29]
In the 2009–10 season, Llorente again reached double figures. He led all scorers in the Europa League for a long period with eight goals, and added fourteen in the league as Athletic eventually finished in eighth place.[30][31]
On 28 August 2010, Llorente scored the first goal of the 2010–11 campaign, in a 1–0 win at Hércules.[32] His form continued in the next ten league fixtures as he found the net seven times, eventually finishing the season with 18 goals (19 overall) as Athletic qualified for the Europa League.[33]
Between January and February 2012, Llorente scored five goals in two away matches in only four days: he started with a hat-trick in a 3–2 win against Rayo Vallecano,[34] and added two in a 2–1 defeat of Mirandés in the Spanish Cup semi-finals.[35] In the next two matches, both at home, he scored three more, one against Espanyol in the league[36] and two against Mirandés.[37]
In August 2012, Llorente refused to sign a new deal with Athletic Bilbao, fuelling speculation that he might be leaving.[4] Following a 2–0 Basque derby loss at Real Sociedad on 29 September, in which he was a late substitute, he got into an argument with manager Marcelo Bielsa; two days later he walked out of training early and was sent to practice with the youth squad[43] and, as a result, his relationship with the club's supporters and president Josu Urrutia further deteriorated.[44]
On 3 January 2013, Athletic confirmed that Llorente would be holding talks with Juventus.[45] On 21 January, the latter's sporting director, Giuseppe Marotta, stated that he was "very optimistic" that the player would join on 1 July, with Urrutia believed to be unwilling to allow him to leave in the January transfer window.[46] Three days later, the club announced he would sign a four-year deal on 1 July when his contract expired;[47] Juventus also paid his agent €3.038 million.[48]
Llorente scored just five goals in 36 competitive matches in his final year, playing mainly as a back-up for Aduriz.[49][50]
Juventus
Llorente officially became a Juventus player on 1 July 2013 after passing a medical at the club.[51][52] He was given the number 14 shirt,[50][53] and scored his first goal in Serie A on 22 September when he started in a 2–1 home win against Hellas Verona.[54]
Llorente found the net in his second and third ever appearances in the UEFA Champions League, both times against Real Madrid in the 2013–14 group stage (a 2–1 away loss, and a 2–2 home draw).[55][56] In November 2013 he spoke critically about his relationship with former manager Bielsa in an exclusive interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport.[57] On 1 December he scored in injury time, the only goal of the match at home against Udinese.[58]
Llorente's first two goals of 2014 came on 12 January, from a header and from close range as Juventus defeated Cagliari 4–1 away to extend their winning league run to 11 matches.[59] On 7 April, he scored both of his team's goals in a 2–0 home win over Livorno, guaranteeing at least second place and Champions League qualification.[60] On the final day of the season, again against Cagliari, he contributed one goal as Juve won 3–0 and clinched the championship, finishing with a record 102 points.[61]
On 27 August 2015, free agent Llorente signed a three-year contract with Sevilla with a buyout clause of €20 million.[63] He made his league debut three days later, playing the full 90 minutes in a 3–0 home defeat against Atlético Madrid.[64] He scored his first goal for the club in a 2–1 loss to Celta, also at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán Stadium, on 20 September.[65]
On 8 November 2015, after replacing newly signed Ciro Immobile for the final 20 minutes of the league game against Real Madrid, Llorente headed home after only four minutes in an eventual 3–2 win.[66] Exactly one month later, also at home, he scored the only goal in a 1–0 victory over his former club Juventus in the final match of the Champions League group stage, which meant Sevilla overtook Borussia Mönchengladbach into third spot and qualification for the Europa League knockout phase.[67] The club went on to win the competition for the third time in a row, with the player being an unused substitute in the final.[68] He came off the bench during extra time in the Copa del Rey Final four days later, which they lost to Barcelona.[69]
Swansea City
On 4 August 2016, it was announced that Llorente had signed a two-year deal with Swansea City.[70][71] He made his Premier League debut nine days later, playing the full ninety minutes in a 1–0 away win against Burnley.[72]
On 26 November 2016, Llorente scored two injury-time goals to help the hosts defeat Crystal Palace 5–4.[73] He also scored twice two matches later, again at the Liberty Stadium, against Sunderland (3–0).[74] He finished his first season with 15 goals, as the team avoided relegation.[75]
A fractured arm sustained while cycling during his summer holiday caused Llorente to miss the opening weeks of the 2017–18 campaign.[76]
Llorente scored his first goal for Spurs on 6 December 2017, playing the full 90 minutes in the 3–0 Champions League win over APOEL after his team had already progressed to the knockout stage as group winners.[82] He made his first league start the following January, scoring in a 2–0 away win against his former club Swansea.[83]
Llorente scored a hat-trick in a 6–1 victory over Rochdale in the fifth round of the FA Cup, on 28 February 2018.[84] On 4 January 2019, in the third round of the next season's competition, he repeated the feat in a 7–0 away rout of Tranmere Rovers,[85] and helped the club record its biggest ever away win.[86] His first league start of the season took place 16 days later due to an injury to Kane, when Llorente scored an own goal in a 2–1 away win at Fulham.[87] In the following league game, he scored a late winner to help defeat Watford 2–1 at Wembley Stadium.[88]
On 13 February 2019, Llorente scored the last goal in a 3–0 Champions League win over Borussia Dortmund, only three minutes after coming off the bench;[89] it was his first career goal in the knockout stages of that competition, and 11th in total.[90] On 17 April, in the same competition, he scored what turned out to be the winning goal in the quarter-final fixture against Manchester City (the tie ended 4–4, Tottenham progressing on the away goals rule).[91] In the second leg of the semi-final away to Ajax, he replaced Victor Wanyama at half time and played a crucial role in helping his team come back from a three-goal aggregate deficit to make it 3–3 and progress again in the same fashion.[92][93] In the final played in Madrid, he was introduced off the bench with eight minutes remaining and the side already behind, was unable to affect the outcome as Liverpool won 2–0 to take the trophy.[94]
Despite his success in the Champions League, Llorente's contract expired on 30 June 2019 with no official statement from Tottenham on his position.[95] His name was included in their 'released players' list submitted to the Premier League on 7 June 2019 (before he was actually released),[95][96] and his profile was later removed from the first team squad list on the website for the upcoming season.[97]
Napoli
On 2 September 2019, Llorente joined Napoli on a free transfer, returning to Italy four years after leaving Juventus.[98][99] He made his league debut against Sampdoria on 14 September, where he provided an assist for Dries Mertens within minutes of coming on as a substitute to help the team win 2–0.[100] His first goal for the club came three days later in the Champions League group stage game against Liverpool, scoring in injury time to seal a 2–0 victory.[101]
Llorente continued to be used in the 'super-sub' role, as was previously the case at Tottenham; although he was rarely started, he was often brought on in the second half of matches, to cause problems for tiring opposition defences with his physical presence.[93][102]
Udinese
On 27 January 2021, Llorente signed a one-and-a-half-year contract with Udinese.[103] In August, however, he was released.[104]
Eibar
On 27 October 2021, after three months without a club, the 36-year-old Llorente joined Eibar on a one-year deal.[105] Once it expired, he left.[106]
Llorente officially announced his retirement from professional football on 16 February 2023.[107]
On 14 November 2008, senior national team manager Vicente del Bosque called Llorente up for a friendly against Chile;[110] he was brought on as a substitute in the 72nd minute of the 3–0 win.[111] He scored his first goal in the 64th minute of a 2–0 friendly win over England on 11 February 2009, after coming off the bench.[112] After scoring 14 goals for Athletic in 2008–09, he was named by del Bosque in his 23-man squad for the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup. He was used as a substitute against hosts South Africa, and closed a 2–0 victory.[113]
Llorente was not selected during the 2009–10 season, as del Bosque favoured Álvaro Negredo. He was, however, selected for the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa as third-choice striker, where he played in one match for the eventual champions, the last thirty minutes of the 1–0 round of 16 defeat of Portugal.[114]
On 8 October 2010, benefiting from an injury to Fernando Torres, Llorente started in a Euro 2012qualifier against Lithuania in Salamanca, scoring with two headers in a 3–1 win.[115] Four days later, as a substitute, he scored the winner against Scotland in a 3–2 victory at Hampden Park.[116][117] He was selected for the final stages in Poland and Ukraine, and was an unused squad member as Spain won another tournament.[118]
Llorente was one of seven players dropped from the final squad for the 2014 World Cup.[119] He also represented the unofficial Basque Country team five times, making his debut against Cameroon in 2005 and scoring once against Catalonia at the Camp Nou the following year. His last appearance was in December 2007.[120]
Style of play
A tall, large, and physically powerful player, Llorente's main traits were his heading ability and strength in the air, which enabled him to function effectively as a target-man in the centre of his team's attacking line.[121][122][123][124][125] He was also known for his offensive movement, positional sense, and goalscoring ability inside the penalty area.[121][122][123][126] Additionally, he was also gifted with good technical skills and link-up play, which allowed him to play well with his back to goal and hold up the ball for his teammates in order to create space and scoring opportunities.[121][122][123][126][127][128]
