Liverpool will resist any offers for Fernando Torres.
Reports from Spain claim Barcelona are preparing a £40 million plus bid for the Spain international.
The La Liga champions paid Valencia £36 million for Torres’ international strike partner David Villa last month.
Villa’s capture was thought to cool Barca’s interest in Torres but the Catalan giants want to unite the pair at club level also.
Torres is said to be new Barcelona president Sandro Rosell’s number one target.
Rosell is prepared to test Liverpool’s resolve by offering Zlatan Ibrahimovic in a player plus cash deal.
The Nou Camp club are likely to receive a frosty reception from Liverpool, however, who have continually maintained the star striker is not for sale.
Barcelona’s interest in Torres has come to light just days after defender Gerard Pique urged his club to try and capture the former Atletico Madrid man.
