Torres staying at Liverpool

Liverpool star striker Fernando Torres will stay at the merseyside club for another season, according to the players agent Jose Antonio Peton.

Torres is regarded as one of the worlds best strikers and is being hunted by host of top European teams including Manchester City, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Premier League Champions Chelsea.

Liverpool have had a poor season failing to qualify for next season’s Champions League which has led to much speculation regarding their top players including Steven Gerrard, Yossi Benayoun and Torres.

Torres who signed for Liverpool from Atletico Madrid in 2007 is eager for silverware but the players representative, Jose Antonio Peton, has played down speculation saying the 26-year-old Spanish International will still be at Liverpool next season.

Peton told Punto Radio said: “For the moment I can assure fans that Fernando will continue at Liverpool next season.

“Everything is down to Liverpool’s attitude but for the time being Fernando is happy at the club and has a good contract.

“Liverpool have not spoken to us about his future, so he is just concentrating on playing at the World Cup.”
