David Maddock Confirms Liverpool Are Watching £81m Rated Spanish Ace Ahead Of Summer Transfer Battle

Liverpool are keeping tabs on Valencia winger Ferran Torres’s contract situation, according to the Mirror journalist David Maddock.

The reporter, who is usually reliable when it comes to the Reds, says the Merseyside club are aware that the 20-year-old’s contract is running down and could well consider making a move for the Spaniard.

Torres’s current deal expires at the end of next season and while Valencia are determined to keep him, they may have to sell this summer to prevent him from leaving for nothing.

Liverpool are not the only team keeping a close eye on the player, with Real Madrid, Barcelona, Juventus and Manchester City also said to be keen.

Real would be the favourites if a bidding war happens this summer, with Torres rated at €90m (£81m), but the forward could still look to leave on a free transfer with the Reds able to start contract talks next January.
