Just days after betting was suspended on Joe Cole joining Liverpool before a move was completed, bookmakers Paddy Power have closed the market on Fernando Torres’ proposed move to Chelsea. The Spanish striker’s reluctance to commit his future to Liverpool has also led to interest from would-be kings Manchester City. However, after a flurry of bets backing the player to move to London it appears that if he is to leave Anfield, it will be to join bitter rivals Chelsea.
“We re-opened the market on Fernando’s next club due to the speculation and interest from punters following comments from the City boss Roberto Mancini,” said Paddy Power spokesman Roberto Coladangelo.
“However, it became clear today that the punters now believe in the rumours linking the Spaniard to west London, forcing us to reassess the market.”
Radio station Talksport also revealed that they heard on good authority from two reliable sources that a move was imminent. (Kop Source)
I hope Torres does not join Chelsea, because the two American money sharks in Liverpool will just pocket the money.
