Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson is set to fly out to Spain today to see Fernando Torres with a view to getting a definitive answer from the player regarding his future, according to a report from The Daily Mirror.
The Spain striker is yet to commit definitively to the Reds, with several of Europe's leading clubs rumoured to be interested in taking him away from Anfield.
Chelsea, Manchester City and Barcelona are all rumoured to be monitoring the World Cup winner's situation.
Now injured with a torn muscle in his left thigh, the striker is believed to want clarification as to Liverpool's aims and plans for next season before he makes a definitive decision on his future.
The Reds, who are likely to demand a £50 million fee for Torres should he opt to leave, also want the situation clarified so that they can buy a replacement forward if necessary and have him registered in time for the Europa League.
Meanwhile, the Reds' head of medicine and sports science, Peter Brukner, believes that the thigh injury should not keep Torres on the sidelines for too long.
"The initial assessment was he had a mild adductor tear and the Spanish medical staff didn't consider it to be too serious at the time," he said.
"He had an MRI scan yesterday, which confirmed a small tear. He should be able to resume training within two to three weeks and be able to play again within three to four weeks."
