Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich has offered to buy Atletico Madrid captain Fernando Torres - for Barcelona!
The London giants' prime target is Barca striker Samuel Eto'o, but knows the Spanish champs will not sell the Cameroon star unless they can find a genuine, world class replacement.
Chelsea have already made a £20 million bid for Torres, which was immediately rejected by Atletico. The Madrid club insist Torres will not be sold for less than his £60 million buyout clause.
That's too steep - even for Chelsea. But the Blues will raise their initial offer if Eto'o indicates he is ready to leave Barca.
The African ace has exasperated coach Frank Rijkaard over demands for a new contract and if he continues to appear unsettled, Abramovich will throw more money at Atletico for Torres with a view to negotiating a straight swap with Barca for Eto'o.
