# Journalist confirms Liverpool are keeping a close eye on Torres

Liverpool are monitoring the progress of Valencia star Ferran Torres, according to the [Mirror’s](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/liverpool-eye-ferran-torres-transfer-21761763) David Maddock.

The 20-year-old is also being watched by Barcelona and Real Madrid, however, following an impressive season.

The Spain U21 international [could leave](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/liverpool-eye-ferran-torres-transfer-21761763) Valencia this summer, with the Reds keen admirers of his ability.

It is [claimed](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/liverpool-eye-ferran-torres-transfer-21761763) that Liverpool have watched Torres since he was 17, and will continue to do so.

### Read Liverpool Verdict

I see Torres as a potential replacement for Xherdan Shaqiri, who is [expected to leave](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/liverpool-set-xherdan-shaqiri-transfer-21326482) Anfield this summer.

Capable of playing on either flank and possessing more aerial presence than the Swiss star – he has won an average of [2.3 aerial duels](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/349760/Show/Ferran-Torres) per game in the Champions League this season – he could prove to be a better back-up to Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane.

At just 20, Torres could also be a long-term replacement for either of the pair, should he continue on his current trajectory. He has [four goals and assists apiece](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/349760/Show/Ferran-Torres) in the league in 2019/20, despite his tender years.

The youngster is unlikely to come cheap, with a €90 million fee [mooted](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/liverpool-eye-ferran-torres-transfer-21761763), but judging by his numbers so far, he could add depth and quality to Jurgen Klopp’s squad.
