Alvaro Negredo today refused to rule out a move to Liverpool by asking 'Who wouldn't like to play alongside Fernando Torres?'
The Almeria striker is widely believed to be leaving the Spanish club this summer and plenty of top teams around Europe are thought to be interested in securing his signature.
With Liverpool lacking an international class striker to play up front alongside Torres, Negredo could be just the solution, and speaking to El Almeria, he was coy on the subject.
"Who would not be happy to play for such a team as Liverpool alongside Fernando Torres, considering their form in the league?" he said.
"I would like to test myself there, but it depends on Real Madrid [who insisted on a buy-back clause when he left the Bernabeu for Almeria] and I have no idea of what is going to happen. At the moment, I am focused on Almeria, who gave me the chance to make my league debut."
Certainly the striker has plenty of admirers around Europe and his form this season has been superb for Almeria, nearly earning him a call-up to the Spain squad.
He admits that he is prepared to wait for his chance to play for the national team and looked at some of those ahead of him in the pecking order.
"I am grateful to be spoken about by the coach. Only a few are chosen and I would like to be in the list, but one must be patient, because these things come with work and effort," he explained.
"[David] Villa is small, he has quality and plays well off defenders. [Fernando] Torres has incredible power, [Dani] Guiza is ready and willing. I think that perhaps I am more like Fernando and Joseba Llorente because we are big and know how to play with our feet too."
