Agent Denies Making Comments About Fernando Torres' Departure From Liverpool

Fernando Torres' agent has denied making any comments regarding the 26-year-old's future at Liverpool to the English press on Monday morning.

Jose Antonio Martin says that he hasn't spoken to the English media in months and has dismissed claims that the Spain international is thinking of switching to another Premier League club this summer.

Martin was earlier quoted as saying that although Torres will remain in the Premier League, he cannot guarantee that his client will stay with the Merseyside club. However, Torres' representative now says that he did not make those comments.

"For many months I have not spoken to the English press because their quotes are totally false," Martin has been quoted as saying by Sky Sports. "Now is not the moment to speak about this issue because Torres is focused completely on his work for Spain.

"After the World Cup Bahia Internacional will possibly meet with the player but the truth is that Fernando has signed a deal with Liverpool which is for the present and the future."

Torres' current contract with Liverpool runs until 2013. At the moment the former Atletico Madrid forward is with the Spanish squad in South Africa preparing for their semi-final clash with Germany on Wednesday evening.
