Welcome to the bridge El Nino
Liverpool have agreed a fee for Fernando Torres with Chelsea thought to be in the region of £50million and have given the striker permission to speak to the club. Speculation has raged over whether the Spanish striker will conclude a move to the Premier League champions before the transfer window closes on Monday night. And it now seems the 26-year-old is on the brink of completing a last-minute switch after the two clubs settled on a towering price for his signature following the Blues' failed £35m offer earlier this week. Liverpool confirmed on their official website: "Liverpool Football Club tonight confirmed they have agreed a fee with Chelsea for the sale of Fernando Torres. "The player has now been given permission to speak to the London club."
