Barcelona
are reportedly are weighing up the merits of a move for Liverpool
hot-shot Fernando
Torres.
The Spain international's future at Anfield looks to be the
subject of much speculation after seeing compatriot Rafael Benitez
depart the club yesterday following a disappointing season at the
helm of the Reds.
Barcelona's interest in Torres is not exactly new as El
Nino was already on the Catalan club's agenda last summer, but
a transfer never materialised.
Chelsea have also been credited with an interest in the
26-year-old striker, who cost Liverpool a fee in the region of €30
million, but it is believed the Blues' preference lies in the
shoulders of Barcelona's Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
News daily Sport claims that, after spending €40
million on David Villa of Valencia, Barcelona's move for Torres
would always depend on Ibrahimovic being sold first, with the
Swedish ace having a €50m price-tag around his neck.
