Man Utd wreck Liverpool hopes over Torres price-tag
tribalfooball.com - June 23, 2007
Manchester United have wrecked Liverpool's chances to land Atletico Madrid captain Fernando Torres.
Atletico insist there is no way they will drop 23-year-old Torres' £27million price tag after Manchester United agreed a £21m deal for Nani from Sporting Lisbon.
Kop boss Rafa Benitez has offered £16m plus £7m-rated Luis Garcia for the Spanish international.
But Torres' spokesman insisted: "That offer is not enough - taking into account Fernando Torres guarantees 15 goals a year to his club and - above all - when Nani, an unknown, costs £21m."
