Football Spy: CITY pounds 200K A WEEK BID FOR TORRES; EXCLUSIVE.


Byline: By DAVID David, in the Bible
David, d. c.970 B.C., king of ancient Israel (c.1010–970 B.C.), successor of Saul. The Book of First Samuel introduces him as the youngest of eight sons who is anointed king by Samuel to replace Saul, who had been deemed a failure.

MANCHESTER CITY are preparing to show off their new financial muscle with a mind-blowing pounds 200,000-aweek offer to Fernando Torres Fernando José Torres Sanz (born March 20, 1984) is a Spanish football player currently playing for Liverpool. He was born in Fuenlabrada, a large suburban town south of Madrid and was the youngest player to play for Atlético Madrid and the youngest to become captain (at age 19). .

Representatives of the Premier League club's Abu Dhabi owners have contacted the Liverpool striker's advisors within the last fortnight, Mirror Sport can reveal.

And while there has been no official approach, the Spaniard's agents have had an incredible financial deal spelt spelt

Subspecies (Triticum aestivum spelta) of wheat that has lax spikes and spikelets containing two light-red kernels. Triticum dicoccon was cultivated by the ancient Babylonians and the ancient Swiss lake dwellers; it is now grown for livestock forage and used in baked
 out to them.

Sources in Spain, where the star's management group Bay International is based, suggest City's oil-rich owners are willing to more than DOUBLE his salary to get their man.

And while Torres has made it clear he is not interested, it is still a sobering sign of how powerful City could be in the market. Ironically, Torres scored twice at Eastlands to win the game for Liverpool on Sunday and emphasise his status as probably the best striker in Europe.

Torres is happy at Liverpool and still has five years left on his Anfield contract.

He might consider a departure if manager Rafa Benitez (pictured) left but only back to a Spanish club.
