LIVERPOOL have agreed to smash their transfer record to land number one target Fernando Torres.
And Anfield officials are now “very confident” the Reds will get their man.
The Reds have agreed a deal in principle with Atletico Madrid just short of the £27m get-out clause stipulated in Torres’ contract, and hope to convince the player to accept personal terms early next week.
Reds boss Rafa Benitez remained tight-lipped today, saying: “All I can say is that Fernando Torres is one of the players we have looked at,” but Liverpool are now very optimistic Torres will line up at Anfield next season.

True but he's only young so he's still got time to learn and adapt to the prem

yeah but its whether he CAN adjust to the premiership
some players can never adjust to english football and have to return to a foreign country.. i think they could of got him a little cheaper

Oh He's Good

Basically He's Got Bout 12 Years To Adapt
Lol

That is a LOT of money for a premiership unproven player who only actually got 14 goals last season.

Great player

£27m is actually not bad for a player of his quality

14 La Liga goals in a season and unproven to the premiership. I wouldn't even pay £20million for that.

There's a lot of potential, £27M pricetag's hefty but he's an asset to Athletico so fair does to them. I remember when he was pictured with YNWA on his armband...a sign of things to come? Anyway, hope he can perform in the prem and doesn't do a Morientes! Tbh, for the money that's being asked, he'd be considered a flop with anything less than 12 goals next season. Good luck to him!

He needs to be a 20-goal a season player to justify that price tag.
