Qatar Cash Injection To Fuel Barcelona Bids For Fernando Torres

Barcelona's shirt sponsorship deal with the Qatar Foundation will reportedly allow the Catalans to launch fresh bids next summer for Liverpool striker Fernando Torres.
Barcelona's coffers have been running dry, but the Spanish giants have just agreed to a shirt sponsorship deal for the first time in the club's history, coming to a £125million agreement with the Qatar Foundation.

The Sunday Mirror reports that the fresh injection of cash means that Barcelona will look to sign Liverpool's Fernando Torres over the summer.

Torres has experienced a difficult few months. He endured a personally disappointing World Cup and has had an indifferent season so far, showing his quality in flashes such as his double strike for Liverpool against Chelsea.

'El Nino' is thought to have questioned the ambition of the Anfield club in the past and the prospect of honours at the Nou Camp could prove tempting.
