Torres is staying at Liverpool

Rafael Benitez is still in negotiations on a new contract and it is still uncertain whether he will remain at Liverpool or not, despite the departure of Rick Parry at the end of the season.

But Torres insists that any change in management does not affect his plans.

"My future is tied with Liverpool, because I still have four years left to run on my contract," he said. "Therefore, should Rafa leave, I will stay on and fulfil my contract with the club.

"My wish is that Rafa extends his contract with Liverpool. I cannot think about how a possible departure might affect me, because it hasn't happened yet, and I don't like wasting time thinking about ifs and buts."
