Fernando Torres' agent has denied making the comments published in the English press on Monday regarding the striker's future at Liverpool. [LNB] Agent Jose Antonio Martin reportedly refused to commit the Spain forward's long-term future to Anfield and indicated he could move to another Premier League club. [LNB]But Martin insists he did not make the remarks and is adamant 26-year-old Torres, who is contracted at Liverpool until 2013, will remain with the Reds. [LNB]"For many months I have not spoken to the England press because their quotes are totally false," said Martin. [LNB]"Now is not the moment to speak about this issue because Torres is focused completely on his work for Spain. [LNB]"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."[LNB]It was also rumoured that Torres was set for a make-or-break meeting with Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson in the coming days to discuss his future, but Bahia Internacional sources have dismissed this claim as "simple speculation".
