Chelsea Transfer News: Fernando Torres Made Available For Just £20m

Chelsea are willing to sell £50m flop Fernando Torres in the January transfer window, according to several reports today.

Chelsea are willing to sell £50m flop Fernando Torres in the January transfer window, according to several reports today.

Torres has scored just three Premier League goals since his £50m move from Liverpool almost 11 months ago and has looked half the player he used to be while at Anfield.

This poor form has seen the Spaniard demoted to the bench in recent weeks, with Andre Villas-Boas preferring Didier Drogba and Daniel Sturridge up front.

Several news outlets today are claiming that Roman Abramovich is now ready to cut his losses on the deal and is willing to listen to offers in the region of £20m for the striker.

The Russian is keen to get Torres off the pay-roll as he earns around £150,000-a-week at Stamford Bridge. The club may consider loaning the 27-year-old abroad for 6 months in order to restore his confidence but it’s believed their preference is to find a permanent buyer.

Torres has cut a frustrated figure in recent months after a disastrous time in London and was an un-used substitute during Monday’s crucial 2-1 victory over Man City. He sat stone-faced in the dugout as the Blues came from behind to beat the league leaders and blow the title race wide open, and didn’t take part in the post-match celebrations on the field.
