GIANTS FIGHT FOR TORRES
EXCLUSIVE
By Alan Nixon 19/05/2007
FA CUP finalist Manchester United and Chelsea are ready to do battle again - for Atletico Madrid strike sensation Fernando Torres.
The Spanish outfit have sparked a new chase for their £25million-rated forward (above) by trying to sign a replacement in Italian striker Vincenzo Iaquinta. Atletico have put off all bidders for young forward Torres in the past, but their move for the Udinese forward has set the ball in motion for the biggest summer auction of all.
Big, bustling Iaquinta is similar to Torres and, if Atletico beat Juventus to his signature in a £7m swoop, then the way will be cleared for Torres to go to
United chief Sir Alex Ferguson has been a long-term admirer of Torres and would do business, especially if the price dropped a little.
Chelsea chief Roman Abramovich (above) has also tried and failed for him before.
Liverpool will try to break up that monopoly with a move of their own, although that will be a test of their new American wealth - and whether the owners are prepared to pay top dollar for the Spaniard.
The Merseyside outfit will have more pulling power if they land the Champions League trophy next week.
According to Benitez it's important not simply to go out to win but to go out prepared to win, which means players have to put in the same level of work on a daily basis. Anything else is unacceptable.
