Torres Sells Villa to Benitez, Silva Being the Buyers
London, England: Fernando Torres reportedly urged Liverpool manager, Rafael Benitez, to snag two Senegalese strikers from Sevilla instead of considering a move for Kenwyne Jones from Sunderland. This suggestion came amidst speculation that Benitez was contemplating a purchase of Jones for a reported 12 million pounds, a deal that was previously rejected by Sunderland's manager, Steve Bruce.
Despite his interest in acquiring Jones through a loan deal, Benitez's plans were met with refusal. In response, Torres expressed a preference for the acquisition of two foreign strikers from Sevilla, specifically David Villa or David Silva. Both players are teammates of Torres on the national team.
Torres shared, "If possible, I'd love to see David Villa or David Silva join Liverpool as fellow strikers for the Liverpool team. I'd be thrilled if they joined Liverpool. Their presence could be an asset for the Liverpool team. We need players who can score winning goals like Wayne Rooney or Carlos Tevez," Torres stated. However, it's essential to note that there's no verifiable public record showing Torres explicitly recommending Liverpool to purchase Villa or Silva from Sevilla.
