New Liverpool owners, John Henry and Thomas Werner, are determined to retain star striker Fernando Torres.
Reports suggest that the New England Sports Ventures gurus are looking to rebuild the squad and have no intentions of letting the likes of Torres and captain Steven Gerrard depart.
Torres' name has again come up in transfer news with Wayne Rooney's imminent exit from Manchester United linking him with the Old Trafford outfit.
But with over four years remaining on Torres' current deal, the Reds owners will not cash in and are set to show tenacity in their bid to keep the classy Spaniard at Anfield.
