After loaning Islam Slimani from Leicester City in January, the Daily Mail report Benitez is unlikely to re-sign the Algerian. The report adds that the addition of Torres, however, would be of interest to Benitez.
"Fernando is a great player," Benitez said recently. "He's an icon, an idol at Atletico Madrid and I have lots of happy memories with him."
Torres was signed for Liverpool by Benitez in 2007, establishing himself as a key player for the Merseyside club. Benitez left in 2010, and Torres was sold to Chelsea in 2011. The pair were briefly reunited at Stamford Bridge in November 2012, when Benitez replaced Roberto Di Matteo as interim manager for the remainder of the 2012/13 season.Benitez is believed to be seeking assurances over investment in the squad before committing to another season with Newcastle. He has urged Ashley to finally break the club's existing transfer record, which stands at £16m following the arrival of Michael Owen from Real Madrid in 2005.
