Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez halted Real Madrid's spending spree - by rejecting a massive 65 million pound bid for Kop ace Fernando Torres.
In an astonishing move, it has been reported that Madrid swooped for Torres AFTER sealing deals for 80m Ronaldo and 56m Kaka.
Rafa also revealed that Real was not the only club interested in his star striker as Chelsea and Manchester City also showed their interest.
But Benitez made it clear that the club would NOT sell Torres at ANY price mainly because Torres is happy at Liverpool.
"We always knew when a bid came we'd say no because the main thing was the player wanted to stay." Rafa is reported as saying. (The People)
Madrid at it again ...
Throw United in there as well, heard somewhere that they put in a 60million bid for him.
And in terms of Transfer rumours, TVNZ have a good daily compilation of all the transfer gos mainly coming from the big Premiership clubs.
