Atletico fans revolt as Torres move nears

Atletico Madrid are facing a fans' revolt over the likely sale of striker Fernando Torres to Liverpool.

Talks between the two clubs over a potential £25million move for the Spanish international have taken place between officials.

But the Madrid club are facing a backlash from their own supporters, unhappy at the prospect of their idol being sold to the Champions League finalists.

Atletico fans have staged a protest in a Madrid square against the sale of the 23 year-old, a youth product of the club who has constantly professed his love for the team he has supported since childhood.

That pressure is likely to delay any deal at least until the player returns from holiday on July 10."

If this goes down, how big of an impact will Torres have in the EPL?
