Liverpool Fernando Torres is a world class player and considering Bayern Munich's stature in Europe, it is far from ridiculous to imagine the Spaniard considering a move to the German champions.
The striker himself had confirmed the possibility in 2009, "Bayern Munich is a very attractive club." This fueled the speculation again. But is a transfer likely in the foreseeable future?
At least this winter, a transfer is definitely not conceivable. The German champions have already revealed that they will not be active in the transfer market. Torres is also too important for current club Liverpool, and could not leave the Merseyside outfit in their delicate situation.
If Spanish and British media report that Torres could move in January to the Isar, the current rumors are likely to be baseless and false. The question remains however: would the Spaniard move to Munich this summer?
That he is not opposed in general, he has already confirmed. If Liverpool miss out on European competition, as currently it looks like they will, a change from Torres would be quite conceivable. Assuming that he wants to change only to one of the best clubs in the world, the options are rather limited.
Barcelona and Real Madrid stand out, but Torres recently clarified, "My home is Atletico Madrid. When I go back to Spain it will only be to Atletico." This leaves only England, Italy or Germany as viable options. That it could be to Bayern Munich is an option, of course. But currently there is really no basis on which one could place these rumours. And this will hopefully end the speculation at least until the summer break.
