Ancelotti not interested in Torres

Carlo Ancelotti insists Chelsea have no reason to move for Fernando Torres this summer as they have enough attacking options at the club.
Last week, Liverpool chairman Martin Broughton rejected suggestions Torres could leave Anfield when he said there is "no intention" and "absolutely no reason" to sell the player, but reports have persisted that Chelsea and Manchester City are set to make a bid.
Yet while Roberto Mancini confirmed City are still looking to sign Torres despite missing out on the Champions League, Ancelotti has said he has no reason to try to sign the Spain striker this summer.
"Torres is a fantastic player, but I don`t think we would move for him because we have Didier Drogba and Nicolas Anelka," he said. "It`s difficult to think about Torres with Anelka and Drogba.
"After the FA Cup final, we will have a meeting with the club, with Roman, and together we will take a decision about next season. I know what we need.
"I think that this club can invest money for players if it is necessary. We are able to do this. If it`s not necessary, we can keep the money. Signing players is not the most important thing, as I think we have a very good squad for next season.
"This is not an old team. We have players with experience, with ability, with skills, so it`s not necessary to spend only for the sake of spending."
