Fernando Torres has warned Manchester City they are wasting their time trying to lure him away from Anfield.
Reports this week have suggested the moneybags Eastlands outfit are preparing a £50million bid for the striker during next month’s transfer window.
Torres, though, has spoken of his love for life at Liverpool and of his pride should daughter Nora grow up with a Scouse accent.
“For me, Anfield is the best place in England,” said the Spain international. “I really feel at home here. From the first day I came right up until today I have felt that Anfield is my home. I feel like I am from Liverpool.
“Some of my team-mates have kids and they speak with a strong Scouse accent. I hope to be here for a long time and if my daughter speaks English and Scouse, I will be proud.
“I would like to be remembered as a player who won trophies for Liverpool. I have plenty of years here, I am sure about that, and I hope the trophies will come soon.”
Torres added: “For me, it’s amazing to score at Anfield and amazing to score in front of the Kop.
“When I hear people sing my name it’s the best feeling I can have on the pitch. Maybe it’s better than when I score a goal. I hope to hear my song a lot more in the future.
“The fans here have seen some of the best players in the world playing for Liverpool and now they sing my name, but I have only been here two years and I haven’t won trophies, I’ve only scored some goals.
“I hope in a few years I can talk about the victories and trophies I’ve won at Liverpool.”
Liverpool are among a number of clubs tracking Gabon international defender Bruno Ecuele Manga, according to the player’s agent.
The 21-year-old, who plays in the French second division for Anger SCO, has already attracted interest from Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal.
And his representative, Yvan Le Mee, said: “Liverpool have been following him since last season.”
