Pique hints at Barca move for Torres
Barcelona defender Gerard Pique would love to see Fernando Torres at the Nou Camp, but concedes that any deal to buy the Liverpool ace would be complicated. The Catalan giants are not short of options up front, having already signed striker David Villa from Valencia, while highly-rated Swede Zlatan Ibrahimovic and young Spaniard Bojan Krkic are also on their books. “The operation for Fernando is a difficult one. I don't know to what extent there is interest or if it is press talk but if he came, they (Torres and Villa) would form an incredible partnership," said Pique on Sunday. "In the three years Torres has been in England, his statistics are excellent. He has scored loads of goals, played a lot for Liverpool and showed he has a great eye for goal," added the Spanish first-choice centre-back.
