Liverpool make double bid to replace Torres
Media reports have confirmed that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ricky-van-Wolfswinkel-c31131 is an alternative to Fernando Torres with the player’s agent inviting the Reds to make an offer following interest in the Dutch starlet.
Liverpool forward, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786’s interest in him, with the Anfield club looking into the possibility of forward options.
Ajax’s first team coach, Frank de Boer, believes the club have a 50-50 chance of signing Luis Suarez, while van Wolfswinkel could be another option as a replacement for Torres following his return from injury.
Liverpool’s top target is Luis Suarez from Ajax if Torres eventually leaves Anfield.
However, it looks like they are looking to get two players.
Chelsea has offered Liverpool ₤40 million, which is a fair evaluation for a player returning from injury, and out of form until recently. Most of the money from Torres’s sale will be spent to strengthen the Anfield squad. It is believed that ₤30 million
will be enough to prize away two of the Dutch league’s hottest strikers.
Torres’s agent told the media:
“Wolfswinkel is almost fit again and has recovered well. He is already training and is one week away from a full recovery. The last day of the transfer period is when most of the deals are completed. At the moment I don’t have to think about because they
have not mentioned anything to me, but if http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 move in for Ricky, of course, we will talk and think about it.
Liverpool is a huge club, and he is hopeful for them. If they come we will think about it. But first they must talk to the club”.
Liverpool’s new Director of Football Strategy, Damien Comolli, has highlighted the Dutchman as a great prospect for the future, while host of other Premier League outfits are also keeping a close watch on the talented youngster, who, possesses maturity beyond
his age.
