Former Liverpool forward Fernando Torres is reportedly taking the Spanish Government to court due to damages incurred over the Covid-19 pandemic.
Torres made several investments after hanging up his boots back in 2019 and currently owns a chain of gyms branded 'New Fitness'. And now, according to El Confidencial, via Football Espana, the World Cup winner is keen to recoup losses his business made due to ‘disproportionate and intense’ measures imposed by the Spanish government and Madrid council.
The report claims that Torress’ chain of gyms had reached £86,000 in profit prior to the pandemic before safety measures were introduced; however, once those measures were introduced, those profits fell to around a €200k loss the following year.
