Chelsea could break the British transfer record by tabling a £70 million bid for Liverpool's Fernando Torres .
According to reports in the Daily Mail, the Blues are preparing to throw their diamond-studded hat in the ring for the much wanted striker.
Speculation about Torres' future has intensified after manager Rafael Benitez left Anfield after six years in charge. Benitez was instrumental in brining the Atletico Madrid player over to Merseyside.
Now with the man who could have convinced him to stay gone, no Champions League football to look forward to and no new players on the horizon, Torres could well decide his future lies elsewhere.
Stamford Bridge would be a great place to go to. Manager Carlo Ancelotti led his side to a double last season and the Blues will be looking to use this as a launchpad for their first Champions League trophy next season.
On their part, Liverpool will be keen to take advantage of such a huge offer to offset some of their debt.
The Anfield outfit is currently £350 million pounds in debt.
