Hmmm..this is by far the best rumour I've heard after the heartbreaking news that Alonso has really asked to be transported to Real Madrid.. Just hope this move will materialise and we'll have Torres-Villa partnership that we've always dreamed of..
This is an excerpt I collected from The Sun today ..hope it will be a reality..

RAFA BENITEZ will use the money from the Xabi Alonso deal to bid for Spain striker David Villa.
Midfielder Alonso is expected to seal a £30million move to Real Madrid today - and Liverpool boss Benitez aims to pair Villa with current Kop frontman Fernando Torres in the double act that has been so deadly for the Euro 2008 champions.
Anfield skipper Steven Gerrard would move back into central midfield, alongside Javier Mascherano, with Benitez changing his formation to 4-4-1-1.
Villa, 26, has already turned down moves to Real and Barcelona this summer but Liverpool feel Torres can persuade his pal to leave Valencia for England.
Benitez, however, recognises potential difficulties in nabbing Villa and does have a Plan B.
Roma midfielder Alberto Aquilani, 24, is seen as a possible replacement for Alonso, 27, who asked for a transfer to force through his move.
Bernabeu bigwigs are haggling over the fee and have suggested a cash- plus-player swap. Liverpool, though, would much rather take a full cash payment.
