Sensational news are out and it has been reported that Premier League champions Chelsea have tabled a new £50 million bid for Liverpool striker Fernando Torres.
According to The Sun, Liverpool turned down a £40m offer for the Spanish striker, now age 26, last week.
And the Anfield club made it clear they would not welcome any further approaches for their World Cup-winning star.
But that will not deter Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich from stepping up the pursuit of his top target this summer.
A top Stamford Bridge source said: “It’s true Liverpool have knocked back the first bid of £40m but it’s highly unlikely that will be the end to it.
“Let’s see what happens when an offer of £50m lands on Christian Purslow’s desk.”
