Man Utd can finally sign Ederson for huge bargain fee

"Offers came in from Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United, but at the time I preferred to stay with Atletico," he told LiverpoolFC.tv.



"I've improved a great deal as a player since joining Liverpool, my movement improving with the time I've spent here."



Surprisingly, during Torres' time at Atletico Madrid, he never had the opportunity to play European football. This year Atletico have finally secured UEFA Cup Football for the first time, but Torres is happy to be playing Champions League football for Liverpool.



"Everybody wants to play in Europe and be named amongst the greats," he said.



"That's why I came here: for the challenge, not the money. I want the chance to win things and believe that I can do that with Liverpool."
