No Atleti, Torres moves to Milan
Print Edition
SPAIN striker Fernando Torres will join AC Milan permanently from Chelsea in the New Year, the English Premier League leader said on Saturday.
The news came several hours after Spanish reports claimed the former Liverpool forward would be returning to his first club Atletico Madrid.
The 30-year-old had joined Milan on a two-year loan at the beginning of this season. He won the Champions League, the Europa League and the FA Cup in 3-1/2 years at Stamford Bridge, but never lived up to goal-scoring expectations after a 50-million pound (US$78 million) transfer from Liverpool.
Torres will join Milan permanently on January 5, Chelsea said.
The deal does not rule out a return to Atletico in the upcoming transfer window, though. The Spanish champion has indicated it does not have the funds for a permanent deal itself, but may yet sign him on another loan deal from Milan once he has left Chelsea.
