Liverpool scout Atletico Madrid ace Torres
Liverpool scout Atletico Madrid ace Torres
- February 28, 2007
Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez will compete for Atletico Madrid hotshot
Fernando Torres at the end of this season.
Benitez sent his top Spanish scout Pedro Campos to watch Torres in action
against Real Madrid on Saturday and received a glowing report.
The Atletico Madrid hitman, 22, delivered a first-rate display including a
stunning strike for his ninth goal of the season.
Liverpool would have to pay £27m to meet the transfer clause in Torres'
contract if they decide to go for him ahead of Eto'o.
That would smash Reds' record £14m transfer fee to land Djibril Cisse from
Auxerre in 2004.
