Madrid - Fernando Torres has hinted he would leave Liverpool if the club does not make several big signings at the end of the season, according to a Spanish newspaper report.
In an interview with sports daily As, the Spain striker was quoted as saying "it's too soon to say" whether he would consider leaving the English club if it does not finish the season in the Champions League spots.
Torres said the priority for him is not finishing in the top four, but rather that "the club makes an effort and brings big players in."
Liverpool failed to qualify for the Champions League knockout stage and it fell well behind in the league title race early in the season.
"We need four or five top-level players in order to compete, better than those of us already here so that they make us all work hard to keep our places," he said.
The former Atletico Madrid player said he wanted Liverpool to be a major force in both the Premier League and Europe.
However, Torres acknowledged that his contract runs until 2013 and said that he was "very happy" at Liverpool.
