Liverpool is trying to keep hold of Fernando Torres and prevent what could be English football's most expensive ever transfer on the final day of Europe's January transfer window.British newspapers say that Chelsea is prepared to pay 50 million pounds ($79.5 million) for the Spain striker.
Liverpool expects to complete the signing of Uruguay forward Luis Suarez from Ajax on Monday and could be one of the busiest clubs in the market. The club has also been linked with Newcastle's Andy Carroll and Bayern Munich's Mario Gomez.
Liverpool has already been busy.
Suarez passed a medical examination and is on course to complete his €26.5 million ($36 million) transfer, while Liverpool has allowed defender Paul Konchesky to join second-tier Nottingham Forest on loan. Daniel Ayala has been loaned to Derby by the Reds.
