Fernando Torres's goal-scoring hits Liverpool FC in the pocket
FERNANDO TORRES' goalscoring streak this season is set to hit Liverpool where it hurts - the wallet.
The Anfield club has to pay Atletico Madrid an extra £150,000 for every 15 goals Torres scores.
Atletico negotiated the clause in his contract on top of the £21million fee when he came to Merseyside in the summer.
Torres, who has scored 18 goals since arriving in Liverpool, has already triggered one bonus payment to Atletico.
Torres said: "I'm keeping everyone happy! Liverpool get the goals and Atletico get the money.
"I honestly did not think I would score as many goals as I have so soon. But things have gone well for me.
"Now I just want them to go better for the team in general so we can win the league or a cup to reward everyone's hard work."
