Liverpool striker Fernando Torres insists he does not plan to leave the club in the near future.
The Spaniard has been linked with Chelsea and Manchester City recently.
Torres said: “I have no plans to go anywhere, not back to Spain, not to Italy, not to another English club.
“I read a lot of things last summer but I was at the European Championships and I did not want any distractions.”
“I don’t know if Chelsea spoke with the club or with my agent.
“But in any case even if there was something in it, nothing was ever going to make me abandon Liverpool.”
Torres joined the Reds for £24million from Atletico Madrid last summer.
He added: “It was the perfect opportunity for me.
“Spanish team-mates, a Spanish manager who believed in me, and a great captain who is also one of the best players in the world.
“Liverpool have every ingredient for me to develop as a player.
“Benitez is the best coach I have ever had without doubt.
“I think he is totally focused on football all day long.
“He concerns himself with every last detail, things that as a player you would never normally even think about like a movement half a metre to one side that would give you the chance to score a goal.
“He is a coach that you can learn from and that any player would love to have because he gets every last drop of ability out of you.”
