The J.League suffered a minor mishap on Wednesday when their
official website published an article confirming that Fernando
Torres' transfer to Sagan Tosu had been completed.
The page was quickly taken down, but not before it had been
captured in screenshot form and widely shared on social media.
Torres was released by Atletico Madrid recently after winning
the Europa League, the first trophy the 34-year-old striker
has ever won with his boyhood club.
Since then, the veteran has been heavily linked with a move to
Japan, and to Sagan in particular -- and, given the latest leak,
it would appear that a deal is close to completion.
However, the J.League have since apologised (in no less than
three different languages) for their premature announcement,
blaming an administrative error for the confusion.
The league issued a statement in which they claimed that the
Torres article in question is merely a draft that was prepared
"just in case" the transfer went through suddenly.
