Juve increase Llorente offer
Juventus have reportedly raised their offer for Fernando Llorente to €18m after Athletic Bilbao hesitated.
The initial €16m bid was not considered enough to complete the transfer, so Mundo Deportivo claim the proposal has been increased to €18m.
Both proposals fall way short of the €36m rescission clause in the player’s contract that Bilbao are demanding.
Llorente has turned down the offer of a new contract at San Mames and is widely expected to leave the club before the end of the summer transfer window.
As a result, Los Leones boss Marcelo Bielsa has left him out of the La Liga opener against Real Betis today, along with want-away teammate Javi Martinez, after the pair were insulted by supporters at training this week.
Meanwhile, a report in Bild insists that Martinez will sign for Bayern Munich later this week for a fee of €40m.
It follows a meeting on Friday between the player’s representatives, including his brother Alvaro, and Bayern officials Karl-Heinz Rummenigge and Karl Hopfner, at which it was agreed the Spanish international would pen a five-year deal.

These scenarios seem very plausible but i doubt it will happen..We'll wait and see.
Basically you're right it'll be difficult to make this scenario happen due to many clubs involved in it, but it's definitely possible financially.
