Torres agent dismisses talk of Chelsea departure

Fernando Torres' agent says the player will not be leaving Chelsea anytime soon.

The Spaniard is now being linked with Italian clubs Juventus and Roma but his representative, Antonio Sanz, says the former Liverpool star is happy under Roberto Di Matteo and is staying at Stamford Bridge.

"We know the new American project at Roma and the philosophy of manager Luis Enrique, but if Roma want Fernando they will have to talk with Chelsea," Sanz told pagineromaniste.com.

"The Italian championship is of a good standard, but there are currently no discussions with Roma or Juventus.

"Fernando has another four years on his contract at Chelsea and the situation there has changed for him.

"With (Andre) Villas-Boas he was not considered, but the arrival of Di Matteo on the bench has seen him rediscover his confidence.

"He played a great match in the Champions League in Lisbon (against Benfica), assisting the winning goal for (Salomon) Kalou.

"We'll evaluate his future in the coming months."
