Liverpool have reportedly told Chelsea £50million will be enough to secure the signing of Fernando Torres before Monday's transfer deadline.

The Reds have already rejected a bid of £35million for the 26-year-old, whose transfer request was turned down by the Anfield hierarchy on Friday night.

But a deal could yet be struck before Monday's 11pm deadline if Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is prepared to meet New England Sports Ventures' valuation of the Spain hitman.
