Fernando Torres' agent insists he has made no statement to the English press about the Liverpool striker's future.

Jose Antonio Martin was quoted as saying Torres could be set to leave Anfield for another English club, but he has now claimed the comments have been fabricated.

"For many months I have not spoken to the England press because their quotes are totally false," he said. "Now is not the moment to speak about this issue because Torres is focused completely on his work for Spain.

"After the World Cup, (player-agency company) Bahia Internacional will possibly meet with the player but the truth is that Fernando has signed a deal with Liverpool which is for the present and the future."

Chelsea and Manchester City have been strongly linked with Torres.
