Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is prepared to pay an insane £85 MILLION for Liverpool, and Spanish star Fernando Torres.

The Daily Star is reporting: Chelsea's billionaire owner was an admiring onlooker during the Euro2008 final, as the Torres scored the lone goal in Spain's European Championship victory over Germany.

The original offer that was reported to be £50m was not even considered by Liverpool, and Torres has admitted he has no wish to quit Merseyside. After the Spanish celebration SkyNews asked Torres about next season with Liverpool and he stated that he believed they would win the Champions League.

In a interview with The Daily Mail Fernando went even further to show his support for Liverpool.

‘I want to thank all the staff and players at Liverpool for their support during these championships because it makes a real difference when you know you have the backing of the people at your club,’ he said. ‘Because of that, they share in our success.

‘I had a wonderful first season for Liverpool and the goals I scored gave me the confidence and belief I needed for the Euros. Again, I would like to thank Rafa and his staff because I have improved as a player due to their help.

‘It isn’t just the people at the club who have helped me, though. It is also the supporters and people of the city. From the moment I first came to Liverpool I have been made to feel so welcome. That is why I am able to enjoy my football so much.

‘It is incredible really because the Liverpool fans have given me so much support. I know they have even been supporting Spain in this tournament and I can’t thank them enough for that. It is something I will never forget.’

‘I hope Sunday’s win proves to be the first of many because I want to win many more major titles with Liverpool and Spain,’ said Torres. ‘I am really looking forward to competing for trophies with the Reds because I know that means so much to the club and fans.’
