Liverpool complete Torres signing
|  Torres scored 14 goals last season for Atletico
|
Liverpool have signed Fernando Torres from Atletico Madrid on a six-year deal for a fee that could rise to £26.5m. The 23-year-old passed a medical at Liverpool's Melwood training ground on Tuesday and returned to Madrid to say farewell to the Atletico supporters. "The Liverpool offer arrived and I told the club to listen to that offer as that is the team I wanted to play for," said the Spanish international. "It's one of the best, if not the best, club in Europe."  Report: BBC Radio Five Live's Jonathan Legard
Torres came up though the youth ranks at Atletico and has been their leading scorer in each of the last five campaigns, scoring 14 league goals in 36 starts last season as the side finished seventh in La Liga. "It has been a difficult decision to leave my all-time club," he said.  |

"But it would have been hard for me to reject Liverpool's offer. It is a big leap for me and I think it was the right thing for everyone. "The time comes in the life of a player that he needs more challenges. "I have always done what was best for the club, too." Torres will wear the number nine shirt worn by ex-Anfield forward's Ian Rush and Robbie Fowler. His capture also shatters the £14m the Reds paid Auxerre for striker Djibril Cisse as the club's previous record signing three seasons ago. Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez wanted to land Torres to provide a spearhead for an assault on the title. "The fact that Liverpool are giving me the number nine jersey just goes to show the confidence they have placed in me, when considering those who have worn that shirt before me," said Torres. "A new beautiful adventure begins for me and I hope that with work and effort I can be among the best players. "This is a unique opportunity for me. Liverpool aspire to everything and that has been an important factor in my decision to go there. "I want to adapt as quickly as possible. I think Premiership is a football that adapts well to my style. "I will arrive with a lot of joy and ambition." Villarreal's Diego Forlan has been lined up to replace Torres at Atletico in a £14.2m deal, while the Anfield club have recouped some of their outlay by selling Luis Garcia to Atletico for £4m. The Reds are now expected to target Manchester United's 29-year-old defender Gabriel Heinze. It may prove complicated, however, with fierce rivals Liverpool and United notoriously reluctant to sell players to each other. But it is understood the Merseysiders have been given enough encouragement from Heinze's camp to pursue their interest.
