The Spain international's future at Anfield looks to be the subject of much speculation after seeing compatriot Rafael Benitez depart the club on Thursday following a disappointing season with the Reds that saw them finish seventh in the Premier League.
Barcelona's interest in Torres is not exactly new as the former Atletico Madrid star was already on the Catalan club's agenda last summer, but a transfer never materialised.
Chelsea have also been credited with an interest in the 26-year-old striker, who cost Liverpool a fee in the region of £25 million, but it is believed the Blues' preference lies with Barca's Zlatan Ibrahimovic or Atletico forward Sergio Aguero.
News daily Sport claims that, after spending around £32m on signing David Villa from Valencia, Barcelona's move for Torres would always depend on Ibrahimovic being sold first, with the Swedish ace having a £40m price tag.
