Torresas asks to be sold © EuroFootball.com

The request of Fernando Torres to be included in the list of football players for sale was rejected.

A few days ago, the "Reds" rejected an offer of 45 million euros from London's "Chelsea" for the Spaniard, but before the closing of the winter transfer window, they will likely have to fight for their team leader.

"Fernando has a long-term contract and we expect him to respect his commitment to the club and the fans. His request was rejected," - said in a statement by Liverpool.

This news spread just a few hours after the Liverpool team announced the acquisition of Uruguayan Luis Suarez.
