This summer will likely be one of the most active in the club’s recent history, with the last real spending spree occurring ahead of the 2018/19 season with the likes of Fabinho, Alisson, Naby Keita, and Xherdan Shaqiri all joining during that summer window.

At just 24-years-old Torres certainly fits the bill for the sort of defender that the club would look to target in the summer and with a last name like that, I am sure the Liverpool fans would welcome him with open arms, as the last Torres to turn out for the Reds didn’t do too bad.
What do you think Liverpool fans, is Pau Torres a good option? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section down below…
