Torres stays at Liverpool

Liverpool striker Fernando Torres has insisted he has no intention of quitting the club this summer, despite reports that Barcelona and Real Madrid are both keen on signing the former Atletico Madrid forward.

The rumours are apparently very wide of the mark, as the Spanish international declared he has no intention of quitting Anfield.

Torres said: "Winning the European Championship with Spain gave me a taste of what winning at the top level was like and once you've had a taste of success it becomes an addiction.

"A lot of players committed themselves to Liverpool this summer with new contracts and players don't do that unless they think they can have their ambitions met.

"There is a lot of belief at the club and a lot of trust in the manager. I sincerely believe I will win the Premier League and the European Cup here. The winning tradition is very clear at Liverpool. I want to be involved in a little piece of their history.

"I'm very happy with my contract at Liverpool and wouldn't leave just to earn a little more somewhere else where I wouldn't be that happy. To want any more would be greedy and that is not me. As long as Liverpool want me, I will stay."
