New club enters race to sign Torres?

It looks more and more likely that Fernando Torres by Tuesday no longer will be a Liverpool player.

His timing is terrible, but if he has desided to go, let's get the most out of it!

The latest reports say that Manchester City are set to blow Chelsea out of the water with a megabucks bid for the striker .

TFOAR has learned from it's sources that the LFC board last night recieved a player plus cash offer from City that is just too good to be refused.

There are not many details of the offer, but sources claims that the deal would effectively value Torres at £75m. 

It seems however that Torres has wanted to leave our club for more than one year!

Now The News of the World claims that the World Cup winner has harboured hopes of a move away from his current club since December, 2009.

The Blues are reported to have made a £25m approach last summer after Liverpool failed to qualify for the Champions League, but nothing came of it then.

However, it is thought that things have changed now since their absence from Europe's top club competition could stretch by another year owing to an underwhelming campaign so far.

According to The Mirror, the Spain international also informed his skipper Steven Gerrard of his desire to leave the club, prior to handing in a transfer request, Goal.com claims.

If the Chelsea deal should go through, Liverpool wants Nicolas Anelka to come the other way.
