Athletic Bilbao striker Aritz Aduriz has defended the reputation of team-mate Fernando Llorente, who has mostly featured as a substitute this season after deciding against renewing his contract with the club in the summer.
Aduriz, the first choice striker for coach Marcelo Bielsa this term, declared that Llorente wants to resolve the conflict with the club and only wants the best for the team.
The world footballers union, FIFPro, recently lodged an official complaint about Athletic Bilbao, claiming the club were pressuring Llorente into signing a new contract.
But Aduriz batted questions about the matter away, and talked up Llorente's integrity.
"To focus on off the pitch matters and non-footballing matters is not good for anyone, not for Fernando or for us," Aduriz told a press conference.
"He's the first one to want peace, the first one to want to talk about the team and focus on doing our work well. That's the message everyone wants to transmit and we all hope that's what happens. It does no good to talk about other matters."
Aduriz has started ahead of Llorente in nearly every game this season, and is currently the fourth top scorer in La Liga, behind Leo Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Radamel Falcao.
