Torres – Time for Transfer Talks is after World Cup

The Liverpool striker Fernando Torres wants to talk to Roy Hodgson after the World Cup, and find out what the future holds for the Reds before deciding whether to stay at Anfield or not next season.

Chelsea are rumoured to be making a strong bid to take Torres to Stamford Bridge, and with finances very tight at Liverpool, the Spanish hitman is unlikely to win any trophies in the near future if he stays in the North-West. But Torres is in no hurry to make a decision with seven weeks of the transfer wind
ow still to go, and the small matter of a World Cup semi-final tonight!

“I suppose that when the World Cup finishes I will speak to the people at Liverpool and they will explain to me the real situation of how things are at present, the future of the club,” he said yesterday. “And I will talk to the new coach.

“There’s time for Liverpool, but I want to finish the World Cup, go on holiday, as I haven’t had a holiday for three years, rest and then there will be time to talk about all of that. The situation isn’t going to change whether we talk soon or later. Honestly, teams won’t be able to do anything until the World Cup has finished. The players here prefer to wait – there is time.”
