The Atletico Madrid striker has also attracted the attention of Marseilles after a fine season for the Spanish side – he scored twice in the Europa League final victory over Fulham – but any transfer negotiations will have to wait until after the World Cup.
His agent, Daniel Bolotnicoff, said: "Forlan is a player who a lot of people are interested about in the European market. Each of the seasons many clubs show interest in him.
"This is not the first time that a Premier League club have wanted to try to buy him back. At the moment, though, he is concentrating on the World Cup finals."
Tottenham are rumoured to be interested in a £20m bid for him, with Roman Pavlyuchenko and Robbie Keane to be sold to pay the fee.
Uruguay have been drawn in Group A at the World Cup, where they will face France, Mexico and South Africa.
