Mark Hughes Plans To Tempt Fernando Torres


Mark Hughes will make another audacious bid to prise Fernando Torres away from Anfield if Manchester City replace Liverpool in the Premier League’s so-called Big Four this season.

Manchester City had a £70million offer for Spain striker Fernando Torres rejected last summer but will go back for him if they qualify for the Champions League for the first time. Rafa Benitez claims he would quit if Torres was sold, insisting £100million is not enough.

But neither that nor failed attempts to sign Kaka and John Terry will deter City from tempting debt-ridden Liverpool with a huge offer next summer. Hughes served notice of his intention to undermine Liverpool when he stole Gareth Barry from under their noses. And his coup de grace would be to tempt Torres.
