 Villa feels Torres could leave Liverpool





David Villa believes Fernando Torres would never join Manchester City but feels Chelsea and Barcelona are "real options" for the striker.

After missing the end of the season with a knee injury, Torres struggled for form at the World Cup and picked up a left adductor injury in the dying moments of the victory over Netherlands.

His fitness will be assessed in the coming days but this injury - as well as the image of Torres wearing a Liverpool scarf as he celebrated Spain's success - has dampened speculation he could move away.

Barcelona striker Villa, though, says Torres is driven by success and feels a move to Chelsea or even Camp Nou could still be on the cards.

"I am not sure where his future lies, but he knows like me he must win trophies at club level," he said. "He isn't money-focused so he would never join Manchester City but, sure, Barcelona and Chelsea would be real options for him.

"He has proven he can score goals in England and Chelsea are the number one team there at the moment, so I suppose it's the option that makes the most sense.

"He has been fully focused on the World Cup but in the back of his mind he knows he needs to be competing for the very highest honours and, if Liverpool can't do it, he will have to move."
