Fernando Torres will not be moving away from Liverpool
despite interest from Barcelona, his agent has said.
Rafa Benitez signed a new deal on Wednesday and Torres has
handed The Reds a further shot in the arm with confirmation he is
not keen on returning to Spain.
The Reds’ goal-machine has recently been linked to a return to
his homeland, with Barcelona on his tail.
But the Spain international is committed to the Anfield cause
and is eager to complete his four-year deal, according to Antonio
Sanz, who is the spokesman for Bahia Internacional, the company
that handles Torres' interests.
Torres is wanted by Primera Liga giants Barca and by their fans,
but will not be swapping Anfield for the Camp Nou according to
Sanz.
Sanz told RAC 1: “Fernando is happy that Barcelona fans want
him, and that we are speaking about the club’s interest [in his
services], but he is not thinking of moving away from
Liverpool.
“He remains under contract for four years in England and is very
happy.”
