However, Liverpool manager (but for how much longer?) Benitez, said this today, "I am not aware that Torres wants to leave" and has tried to assure fans that Torres will be at the club next season.

Torres has been a magnificent player whilst in Liverpool, scoring vital goals at vital times for them, and in the 08/09 season, almost helped Liverpool to win the Premier League title for the first time. But this season has been a completely different story. Injury's have plagued the Spanish star, and he has been visibly disappointed and bemused at some of his mangers decisions regarding himself. He has seen his side slip down the table, and out of the Champions League. They didn't get fourth spot to get a Champions League spot, and will have to settle for the Europa League, which they also lost in the semi-finals this year.For a world class - and he is world class player not to be playing among the best, in the Champions League is a disappointment for football in general, but also for himself. If he wants to play in the Champions League next season, all he would have to do is say. Clubs will be pouncing on him in a flash, and it has been rumoured that Chelsea would like to take him, which would see a dream partnership in Drogba and Torres.
Liverpool are a club in need of money, and if Torres was to leave, they would be getting a very nice return from his sale. So do Liverpool take the money and run, or do they find other ways to service their debts and try to hold on to their star striker for another season?
