3) Fernando Torres – 2007 – £23m from Atletico Madrid
Because of his laboured performances for Chelsea, it’s easy to forget that Fernando Torres was probably the best striker in the world for a period when he was at the Reds. His barnstorming performances and brilliant goal record made him loved by the fans, who were devastated when he chose to leave the club for Chelsea in 2011. The Reds did receive £50m for his services though, and his form ever since shows they might have been right to cash in.
