Fernando Torres future looks to lie at Sagan Tosu in Japan. The official website of the J-League uploaded a story that remained live for a few minutes announcing Torres' move to Sagan Tosu.

For a matter of minutes, the J-League had a news story detailing Torres' move to Sagan Tosu. Then suddenly, the article was deleted

According to 'Marca,' the league blamed the mix-up on an error: "The signing is still not complete. Due to it's high status we had prepared a draft in advance," they explained.

Furthermore, the Japonese League added that, in the draft they accidentally published, there were more errors...

Whilst the article was only up for a very short time, many were able to screenshot the supposed announcement of 'El Nino's future in Asia. 

It's worth noting that this signing is still not official. Sagan Tosu hasn't announced anything, although it seems clear Torres' future lies with them.
