Athletic Bilbao are on the verge of agreeing a new contract with star striker Fernando Llorente, which would tie him to the Basque club until 2013.
AS report that Llorente will put pen to paper on his new deal before the club's general assembly on Monday. The contract is thought to be the most expensive deal that the club has ever offered.
Llorente's current contract, which runs until 2011, has a minimum fee release clause of €30 million. By Monday, this will have risen to around €50m.
However, the striker has recently warned Athletic that he will not remain with them forever as he has ambitions to play abroad.
The 24-year-old has had a good start to the season, particularly in the Europa League, in which he is the competition's leading goalscorer, having scored six goals in seven matches.
Although he has only scored two in the league so far, Llorente will be desperate to start finding the net more regularly in the Primera Division as he looks to secure a place in Spain's squad for the World Cup finals.
