Torres get a bumper deal to make him highest paid player

Fernando Torres has been offered a deal that would make
him the highest-earning footballer in the world, according to
one of the striker’s representatives.

The 31-year-old is currently on loan at Atletico Madrid from
AC Milan, although his contract with the Serie A club expires at the end of the season.

Atletico president Enrique Cerezo has revealed that Torres’
future will be decided “in the next few days” but it’s now
claimed that the former Chelsea forward, who has started
only seven games in La Liga this term, has received a
lucrative offer elsewhere.

"Fernando and Simeone should sit down and talk about it,"
Jose Antonio Martin told Cadena Cope .

"The fans of Madrid don't want Torres to be told no
continually. He has an offer that would make him the best-
paid in the world. There are nuances. It all depends upon
the will of the club.

“The feeling I get is this is something that must be resolved,
not between [club chief Miguel Angel] Gil Marin or [technical
director] Andrea Berta, but rather between Simeone and
Torres, who are friends.

"He [Simeone] must either tell him, 'I am counting on you or
I am not counting on you.' The fans want his contract
renewed and it is something that can't be denied."
