Torres to snub A-League

Football Federation Australia’s hopes of luring Fernando Torres to the A-League are set to be dashed as the Spanish striker prepares to announce his next club. Torres is expected to confirm he will play for Major League Soccer club Chicago Fire, the team which New Zealand striker Elliot Collier plays for, when he reveals his next destination. Despite a bold bid from FFA negotiators, it’s understood the former Liverpool, Chelsea and Atletico Madrid star has opted against a move to Australia.
