Reds closing in on Torres

30 January 2007
The Anfield club are expected to pay close to the £27million buy-out clause in Torres' Atletico Madrid contract and while Benitez refused to name names he did admit he hoped new players would be arriving "soon".
Benitez said: "We are working on new signings all the time. As I've already said, the spine of the team is in place and now we just need to add to that."
Djibril Cisse appears to have moved closer to a permanent move away from Anfield after his agent Ranko Stojic revealed the striker wants to join Marseille, where he spent last season on loan.
Stojic admitted West Ham had enquired about the Frenchman's services but insists it is a move to his homeland which appeals most to the forward.
He told the Independent: "Marseille is definitely the choice for Djibril. I think the deal will happen on Friday or Saturday.
"I have been very busy this week - I caught six planes in two days - and I am sorry for the people I have not had the chance to call back - Mr Eggert Magnusson of West Ham for example."
