Torres lifts lid on Liverpool departure

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.

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."
