Chelsea signing Fernando Torres hopes he can still visit Liverpool after his controversial transfer.
Torres hopes Liverpool fans will have forgiven him by the time he visits Anfield in Chelsea blue.
He added: "People on the outside can't understand some things about football.
"The problem was that when Xabi Alonso and then Javier Mascherano left I could only see a light at the end of the tunnel when Chelsea opened the door.
"It just happened that my time came to leave. In time I hope Liverpool fans understand.
"I would like to return to Liverpool and be recognised. I only have gratitude towards the people, the club and everybody in Liverpool."
