Reina: Torres will stay with Liverpool

Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina has warned suitors Chelsea and Manchester City that teammate Fernando Torres will stay at Anfield next season.

Torres has been linked with a move away from Merseyside after the club's poor campaign, with Chelsea, City and Barcelona supposedly in the running for the Spain international's services.

But Reina spoke to his compatriot this week and claims Torres is committed to turning the club's fortunes around.

"I am calm about Fernando," Reina said in quotes reported by The People.

"I spoke to him about his future and he has told me that he intends to continue with us.

"Fernando suffered so many blows last season, but he is a professional and has always wanted to do well for us.

"That is what he remains - committed to this club."
