Liverpool Plot Shock Move For Former Star – reports

Liverpool are set to make a shocking move for former star Fernando Torres in the January transfer window.

The Reds capitulated to a 3-0 loss against Manchester United on Sunday, despite enjoying the better opportunities against the Old Trafford club.

This has led to a belief that Brendan Rodgers’ side lack a genuine goalscorer, having lost Luis Suarez in the summer and seen Daniel Sturridge regularly sidelined with injury since the campaign began.

Rodgers is expected to go back into the market for another striker in January, after Mario Balotelli failed to settle following his £16 million move from AC Milan.

He has not scored a goal in the Premier League yet.

Now, according to the Daily StarLiverpool are set to make a move for former star Torres.

The Spain international has struggled for opportunities while on loan at AC Milan.

He is set to return to Chelsea in January, and Liverpool could now be the side to take him on loan for the remainder of the campaign.

Torres left Liverpool for £50 million when he joined the Blues.

Chelsea To Offer Big Money Flop To PL Rivals For Free – reports

Chelsea are set to offer their £50 million flop Fernando Torres around fellow Premier League clubs in January.

AC Milan took the Spanish striker on loan in the summer, but he has been used sparingly by manager Pippo Inzaghi since joining the Italian giants.

Inzaghi is reportedly keen to bring a new striker to the San Siro in January, having seen his side struggle since the start of the campaign.

Milan are seventh in the Italian top flight, having scored only 23 goals.

Torres has only contributed one strike in ten appearances, a poor record for a previously prolific forward.

After all, Torres scored 18 goals in only 22 games during his last season at Liverpool.

With Milan willing to send him back to Stamford Bridge in January, Chelsea are set to offer him out to the rest of the Premier League for free, according to the Daily Mirror, to any side willing to have him on loan for the rest of his contract.

New teammate: Ex-Chelsea Star More Of A Winner Than Liverpool’s Balotelli

Former Real Madrid goalkeeper Diego Lopez has declared that new AC Milan loanee Fernando Torres is a more useful player than the departed Mario Balotelli, who left the Italian giants to join Liverpool for a fee in the region of £16 million, as reported by Goal.com.

Lopez moved to the Italian side from Real this summer, despite impressive performances for the Spanish giants, and spoke about how Torres has shown that he has more about his game and more capacity to be a winner than the much lauded Balotelli.

He said: “[Torres is] a great signing. We’re talking about a player who has done amazing things, who has experience, speed, and will be important.

“Balotelli? Torres will be more useful as he has shown the characteristics needed to win.”

Torres has joined Milan on a two season loan after the arrivals of Diego Costa and Didier Drogba at Chelsea.

With it becoming increasingly obvious that Torres would be third choice, the Spanish striker decided to move on, putting an end to a difficult time at Stamford Bridge, where he failed to reach the same heights as he did during his time at Liverpool.
