Lazio is not expected to be the only club that will monitor Torres in the coming months. The likes of Chelsea along with Real Madrid each have also been in the rumor mill with Torres, but it is not yet known as to the extent of their interest in Spain’s rising defensive talent.
Torres gained more recognition in Europe after he helped lead Villarreal to Europa League triumph this past season. The Spanish defender totaled for nine appearances over the tournament run, which included the strong showing against Arsenal in the second leg of the semifinals.
