Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez says he would not sanction the sale of star striker Fernando Torres at any price.

The 24-year-old Spain international has been an unqualified success since his arrival from Atletico Madrid in the summer of 2007, scoring 36 goals in 56 appearances for the Reds in all competitions.

However, the Euro 2008 star had recently been linked with a January move to Manchester City, but Benitez has made it clear that he will not allow Torres to move on.

He told the News of the World: "I do not want to put a price on him, because people will want to think I want to sell him and that is not the case, so I will not say any price.

"I'm sure all the players have a value but not Torres. He is priceless to us, he is unbuyable.

"I would not want to swap Fernando with anyone else in the world, because he is my player and I'm very pleased with him.

"There are good players in Europe and all the way around the world, but better than Torres? No."
