|
The striker has been linked with a return to Spain and even a switch to
|
|
Liverpool's rivals Manchester United.
|
|
|
|
Torres signed a new contract last month and is confident he can satisfy his
|
|
ambitions on Merseyside.
|
|
|
|
He told the [Daily Mail][3]: "Winning the European Championship with Spain
|
|
gave me a taste of what winning at the top level was like and once you've had
|
|
a taste of success it becomes an addiction.
|
|
|
|
"A lot of players committed themselves to Liverpool this summer with new
|
|
contracts and players don't do that unless they think they can have their
|
|
ambitions met.
|
|
|
|
"There is a lot of belief at the club and a lot of trust in the manager. I
|
|
sincerely believe I will win the Premier League and the European Cup here. The
|
|
winning tradition is very clear at Liverpool. I want to be involved in a
|
|
little piece of their history.

"I'm very happy with my contract at Liverpool and wouldn't leave just to earn
|
|
a little more somewhere else where I wouldn't be that happy. To want any more
|
|
would be greedy and that is not me. As long as Liverpool want me, I will
|
|
stay."
|
|
|
|
The 25-year-old has been linked with United following their acceptance of Real
|
|
Madrid's £80 million bid for Cristiano Ronaldo.
|
|
|
|
Torres will be sad to see the Portuguese leave the Premier League but insists
|
|
Liverpool will not win the title by default.
|
|
|
|
"He has been one of the best players in the world for the last three years and
|
|
it will be a big loss for the league but, with the amount of investment in the
|
|
Premier League, I expect world-class players to arrive this summer as well,"
|
|
he said.
|
|
|
|
"Madrid obviously are spending lots of money and I'm sure that (United boss)
|
|
Sir Alex Ferguson will be looking for a big name to replace Ronaldo, but I'm
|
|
very excited about what the boss is doing here at Liverpool.
|
|
|
|
"We won't win the title because Manchester United have become weaker but
|
|
because we have become better."
|
|
|
|
Liverpool's financial position has increased speculation about the future of
|
|
their star names, with Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez consistently denying
|
|
midfielder Javier Mascherano is on his way out of Anfield.
|
|
|
|
Torres also believes the Argentinian will stay, adding: "Javier loves it at
|
|
Liverpool, that is all I can tell you.
|
|
|
|
"In the summer people like to make a lot of noises about world-class players -
|
|
and Javier is a world-class player. He has said himself that he is very happy
|
|
at Anfield and there is no reason for him to want to leave."
