Chelsea ready to incur £30m loss on sale of Torres

Chelsea are willing to sell Fernando Torres at a loss of around £30million this summer.

A report in the UK Sun, stated that “The Blues want rid of their record £50m buy even though he has 22 goals this term, his best season at Stamford Bridge.

Torres has netted just seven times in the Premier League, the last coming against Aston Villa in December.

And that is why Chelsea hope today’s match against Everton will be his final one. Overall, Torres has 34 goals in 130 appearances since signing from Liverpool in January 2011.

That equals more than £2m a goal when you add his £22m pay to the £50m transfer fee.”

It is understood that incoming manager Jose Mourinho, is looking to build his own attack and is eyeing deals for Edinson Cavani from Napoli and Andre Schurrle from Bayer Leverkusen.

Torres, who earns £170,000 a week, has also insisted he wants to stay at Stamford Bridge and the club would have to pay him a lump sum to leave or he might receive a tempting offer from elsewhere.
