LFC could not turn down a 60m offer for Torres without breaching the terms of his contract

@TonyBarretTimes But they also couldn't force him to go there if he didn't want to.
Seem to confirm there is a release clause, perhaps not 50m but under 60.
Now I doubt that Abramovitch really want to put that much money on Torres, imo he was just trying to convince his fans he can still invest like City.
And of course doubt even more that Torres would consider such offer (even if to be frank, I see a small risk he may be tempted ; being a world class player and having won f*** all at club level at age 27, due to being in a club unable to win the league since 20 years, promising him new world class partners every year but never delivering, seeming so poor it can't bid more than 17m on such recruit, etc...).
Time to pay what is needed and conclude some deals.
