Torres rubbishs Liverpool exit talk - Latest Transfer Gossip.
Who? - Fernando Torres - Speculation Where is he? - Liverpool Who is he linked with? - Chelsea
Liverpool have again dismissed speculation linking Chelsea with a mega-money move for Spain international striker Fernando Torres this summer. The 24-year-old is currently on international duty at Euro 2008 and has already been mentioned as a possible target for Chelsea, even before they appointed Luiz Felipe Scolari as their new manager. However, Reds chief executive Rick Parry told the Liverpool Echo: "The only interest we have had in Fernando Torres seems to have been generated by certain newspapers. We have certainly had no contact whatsoever from Chelsea. Any speculation suggesting otherwise is categorically untrue. But if they were to make contact they would receive a very short answer. Fernando Torres is not for sale." Torres himself added on the club's official website: "I have no intention of leaving. I want to say very clearly that I'm not on the market and it is my desire to continue at Liverpool. I am very happy at Liverpool and want to carry on."
Who? - David Villa - Speculation Where is he? - Valencia Who is he linked with? - Almost everyone
Valencia remain desperate to keep hold of star striker David Villa for next season, despite interest from a number of top clubs across Europe. The 26-year-old Spain international started Euro 2008 with a hat-trick against Russia, meaning Los Che can hold out for a major offer for their in-form frontman. Club director Juan Sanchez told Las Provincias: "This player is not on the market. I have demanded continuity in regards to Villa and also David Silva and I am confident that I will get it. The club have made it clear that the pair are not for sale. They are key to my plans for the future and their absence would be a major problem. It is normal that the big European clubs are interested in Villa, but we are determined to fight to keep him in Valencia." Sanchez had earlier told The Sun: "We are calm and we hope he will continue to score many goals. You never know what will happen if we get offers, but it's not a question of putting a price on him. What will come in the future will be assessed then."
Who? - Emmanuel Adebayor - Speculation Where is he? - Arsenal Who is he linked with? - AC Milan
Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor has vowed to ignore interest from AC Milan to stay with the Gunners next season. The 24-year-old Togo international has scored 46 goals in 105 appearances for the Gunners since his arrival in January 2006, with his fine recent form sparking interest in him from the Rossoneri. However, despite comments from his representative suggesting that he could move on, Adebayor insists he will stay put in north London. He told The Sun: "My future with Arsenal has never been in doubt and I want to assure fans I will be here for many years. My agent has met with coach Arsene Wenger about a new deal and I am happy about how the talks are going, so fans can rest assured." Adebayor's agent, Stephane Courbis, had earlier told the Corriere dello Sport: "The player is fine at Arsenal, but when Milan come in for you it's difficult to tell them no. I know that Milan have contacted Arsenal and now everything depends on what Arsenal want to do. I know that Milan are one of the biggest clubs in the world and, when they want to take you, you have to really consider it. It's difficult to say no to Milan."
Who? - Richard Dunne - Speculation Where is he? - Manchester City Who is he linked with? - Portsmouth
New Manchester City manager Mark Hughes remains hopeful that captain Richard Dunne will decide to remain with the Citizens for next season. The 28-year-old Republic of Ireland is a transfer target for a number of other Premier League clubs, with Spurs and Portsmouth believed to be leading the chase for Dunne's signature. However, Hughes is keen to talk to Dunne and persuade him to stay put at Eastlands. He told the club's official website: "I've spoken to Richard. He's on holiday abroad at the moment, but I've had a discussion with him and I've told him my feelings on the situation. Obviously I'm very keen for him to remain at the club and we're working in that direction. It's a little bit difficult because he's away at the moment, but I'm sure that when he's back this will be resolved very quickly. We have offered Richard a substantial deal, there may be more negotiations to be done, but I am very hopeful that he will continue to be a Manchester City player."
