Man City ready with £50M bid for unhappy Liverpool striker Torres

Manchester City are planning a new bid for unsettled Liverpool striker Fernando Torres.

The Daily Star says Torres is ready to quit ­Liverpool in dismay at the club's progress under new boss Roy Hodgson.

And big-spending Manchester City are already ­pl­otting a £50m January bid to put the Spain ­ superstar out of his ­Anfield misery.

City chiefs have already made it clear that they are ready to smash their transfer record to bring the ­hitman to Eastlands.

Boss Roberto Mancini made Torres his No.1 summer target, but knew he would be ­facing an uphill struggle to lure the striker without the carrot of European Cup football.

But the Italian will ­renew his attempts to pull off the capture of Torres once the ­transfer window reopens.
