Fernando Torres is a target for Manchester United Football Club, according to reports, in what would possibly be the biggest transfer shock since, well...ever!
The Premier League champions will officially lose Cristiano Ronaldo on July 1 when the Portuguese winger signs for Real Madrid, who had an £80million bid accepted last week.
Reports in the Sunday Express claim Sir Alex Ferguson has placed Torres as his first choice to replace his number 7 this summer, with an offer of £40million set to be tabled for the Liverpool forward.
However, just days after Rafael Benitez insisted he wouldn’t sell Javier Mascherano to Barcelona for £50million, the chances of him selling the ex-Atletico Madrid ace to his biggest rival for less would be zero.
Furthermore, the Spanish international is rated by many as the best striker in Europe, so in the unlikely event the Anfield club would consider selling him to ease their reported financial problems, they’d want a heck of a lot more than £40million for him.
Just £40million ?
So u think Rafa , plus the 2 Americans will sell ? Knowing MU has got £80million in the bank .
Don't think so ....
Even if at £81million , i believe Torres worth more than that .
