Juve's Torres bid rejected Wednesday 5 May, 2004
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
According to reports Juventus have offered four stars in exchange for Fernando Torres, but Atletico Madrid are refusing to negotiate.
The Italian press maintains that 20-year-old striker Torres impressed the Bianconeri so much during this season that they are set to make a quadruple bid.
The club would be willing to hand over internationals Paolo Montero, Mauro German Camoranesi (pictured), Igor Tudor and Marcelo Zalayeta.
Juve would have the advantage over other clubs such as Manchester United and Milan, as they would allow Torres to stay in Madrid until 2005 or maybe even a year later.
However, Atletico President Enrique Cerezo has cut down any reports linking the hitman to a summer move.
“It is pointless for other clubs to come knocking at our door,” assured the patron, “because we won’t open it.”
Juventus are also eager to get negotiations under way early, as Torres is expected to make quite a splash with Spain.
“We would be stupid to sell him now, as I am absolutely convinced this lad will have a great European Championship in Portugal, and after that his price tag will rise considerably.”
The youngster has already impressed Italian sides with his goal in the recent 1-1 friendly against Spain.
Wooow this is crazy stuff, 4 player, abd leave him at am?? that would be crazy, unless we are getting a shag load of new players, cos if we do then it would be brilliant
