Newly promoted Chinese Super League side Beijing Renhe have denied making an offer for Atletico Madrid forward Fernando Torres.

Torres is out of contract at the end of the season and the 33-year-old has been linked with a move away from boyhood club Atletico in January.

China has emerged as a possible destination for Torres amid reports of an €8 million bid from Renhe, who finished runners-up in the country's second division this season to earn promotion.

But Renhe – led by former Getafe and Levante head coach Luis Garcia – dismissed the speculation, having considered Torres.
