Ferran Torres highlights why Liverpool are keen on his signature
This summer, Liverpool were credited with an interest in Valencia’s talented young winger Ferran Torres. the Reds were keen on the player, along with Chelsea, Real Madrid and Barcelona.
The report claimed Liverpool had been scouting him for a year and that he had a buy-out figure at Valencia worth around £21.9 million.
Such a fee for a player who, at the time, had played just 10 games of first-team action, highlights just how highly rated he is.
Indeed, not long after these links emerged, Torres signed a new deal with Los Che., the new deal included a release clause of €100 (£88) million, ensuring Valencia would not be losing him on the cheap.
This week, the teenager has shown just why Liverpool and co are so interested. Spain’s under-19s took on their Swiss contemporaries in a UEFA Under-19 Championship qualifier last night.
They ended up winning a tough game 2-1. The scorer of both their goals, Torres. It was a sensational display that highlighted just what a special talent the winger is.
Valencia will never actually ask for £88 million for the player at present. Instead, it is simply a deterrent to ward off bids from interested parties. But Liverpool should certainly maintain their interest in the young wing wizard.
