From Guillem Balague:
Fernando Torres snubs Manchester City move
The Spanish sports daily, Marca, believes that Fernando Torres has turned down a move to Manchester City and told the new owners of the club that he will not be tempted leave Liverpool for any amount of money.
According to Marca the billionaire investor at Eastlands, Sulaiman Al Fahim, has not yet approached Liverpool football club regarding a move for the Spanish international. Marca writes: “Ten days ago the Arab Sheikh made contact with Torres’ representatives, the management company Bahia, and told them that he would, at the very least, double Fernando’s current salary. However, Bahia, who look after all of the player’s commercial affairs, returned with an unequivocal response from the player himself: Torres is not interested in Manchester City.”
Marca believes that the rebuttal from Fernando Torres was swift enough and firm enough to dissuade Manchester City from making any further approaches and that the matter is now finished as far as both parties are concerned.
However, it’s not all good news for Liverpool fans. The author of the article in question, Jose Vicente Hernaez, goes on to say that Torres, whose contract runs out in 2010, is hesitant over committing himself to a longer deal at Anfield: because of doubts over the future of the manager at the club. Marca writes: “While there remains the possibility that Rafa Benitez could leave the club at the end of the season, Torres will not rule out leaving Liverpool next June.”

Couldn't handle having Kluivert as manager of Liverpool, any time the media wanted to have a go at LFC, all we'd see is pictures of 'OUR' manager disgustingly gobbing on Rudi Völler....no thank's.
