Man City linked with £50m bid for Torres
According to The Daily Mail, Manchester City will make a £50million bid for Liverpool striker Fernando Torres.
Man City’s billionaire owners believe if Liverpool fail to qualify for next season’s Champions League, an offer for their star striker will be hard to refuse.
However, if City do want to sign the Spanish striker, qualifying for the Champions League is a must and following Saturday’s 1-1 draw against Hull, finishing in the top four can’t be taken for granted as the Blues lie sixth in the table, 2 points ahead of Liverpool.
A source said: “Make no mistake about it, this club is ambitious. They believe there is not a player in the world who is outside their budget and that includes Torres.
“The owners are in it for the long haul. Initially, their number one target is the Champions League next season. But they see that only as the launching pad for greater things.
“They are now probably the wealthiest club on the globe – now they want to be the best.”
However, Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez insisted he would quit if Torres was sold to balance the books and pay off the growing debt on the club.

Absolute rubbish yet again from the Daily Fail. We rejected a 70 Million bid for Torres from City in the summer and he will not be going to any club in England, especially one that wants to be our rival for a champions league spot.
The news is not credit worthy! Aguero is sold for 100million pound & City can get Torres for 50million pound?
Wake up guys & get your homework done before publishing such CRAP news!!!!!
no way
Why do people persist in publishing these so called stories? Torres has stated, categorically, that he intends to stay at LFC. End of discussion
I just didn’t even take it seriously…
even though this report is just another crap heap tabloid like garbage,,, who on earth can value torres cost only at 50 mill, fucking hell if aguero who for 2 years hasnt done much to write home about and can not even come top in the goal charts in spain cost a reported value to chelsea at 45 mill then torres is worth much more and by the way done much more both at club level and international level. berbatov goes for 32 mill, keane at 20 mill, rooney at 30 mill, eto and ibrahamivic involved in hugely inflated price and yet torres is only rated at 50 mill , you have to laugh at this crap…. oh and if tevez who scores hardly ever is worth 25 mill and that lanky cunt adebeyor is worth 20 mill and santa cruz is worth 20 mill then torres is worth tripple of any of them, yes he gets injuried, but look at his first season,,,,, enough said,,,, look at him now been out injuried for 1 month and is still one of the top scorers in world football….. torres is priceless
fcul these owners,,,
Wow this is garbabe torres loves liverpool, who would value him at 50 million lol that makes no SENCEEEEEE. He is one of the best striker in the world i wouldn’t sell him for 80 and neither would lfc so why the fuck they even talking about a 50 pound deal i hate city and these teams that try to bribe with money Torres not like that hesa red for life and you discusting baby blues money will never NEVER sign this STAR. FERNANDO TORRES LIVERPOOLS NUMBER 9 FOREVER!!
Dear Author lfcglobe.com !
Really and as I have not thought about it earlier
It all depends on whether Torres has his head turned by City. If it ever comes to pass that a REAL offer is made and Liverpool refuse to sell, then City will do what they always seem to do now that they have cash to splash, and that is work on the player to request a transfer.
