Torres says he'll go if it helps
by Nadia Carminati
Juventus are the latest club being linked with Atletico Madrid star Fernando Torres.
Atletico revealed last week to skysports.com that they have no intention of selling their much sought after star, after Premiership champions Manchester United were linked with the Spain international, as well as European kings Milan.
The 19-year-old is the club's prized-asset but with their precarious financial situation in mind, he has sparked fresh rumours by revealing he would be ready to move to help Atletico out.
"If it would help out the club, I'll leave," said the hit-man. "If it helped out the club financially then I will swap jerseys."
However, a self-confessed Atletico fan, Torres said he would not leave to join another Spanish club and voiced his preference for a move to Serie A.
"But I will not leave for a Spanish club," he added. "I would never face the team that I was born in while in the same league.
"I would be better off going to Italy to Milan or Juventus. They are ambitious and well organised clubs.
"But they will have to talk to Atletico because I won't do anything behind their back.
"Anyway, I'd like to spend my whole career in the red and white jersey."
