Torres lifts lid on Liverpool departure

22 December 2011 - 16:58

Chelsea striker Fernando Torres has sensationally lifted the lid on his acrimonious departure away from Liverpool. The 50m departure made Torres an incredibly unpopular man at Anfield, but Torres took a moment to explain the reasons behind his transfer.

  • Chelsea to complete deal for Pep Chavarria
  • Malo Gusto to complete move from Chelsea to Man City this week
  • In an exclusive with Spanish television, Torres explained the reasons behind his mega money move south to London.


    "The Liverpool fans don’t know the truth about why I signed for Chelsea,’ the 27-year-old revealed.


    "The fans don’t even know half of what happened. They don’t know what the people in charge at Liverpool are like - they have a completely different perception of what they are like. 


    ‘They made promises that they didn’t keep and I left because I realised I didn’t have time to be part of a project that would take years."
