Transfer Rumour: Torres could go back to former club Atletico Madrid

Transfer Gossip: 13/01/13

Who:-   Fernando Torres (Chelsea)

To:-  Atletico Madrid

Extra:-  Atletico Madrid want to re-sign their former striker from Chelsea for a cut-price of the £50m Chelsea paid for the Spaniard from Liverpool.  

Opinion:- This actually can be a possibility with Chelsea signing Demba Ba a few weeks ago and with them interested in Celta Vigo’s striker Iago Aspas. Torres hasn’t performed at his best since being at Chelsea and I don’t think we will see the best out of Torres again, he has lost that burst of pace he had when he was younger that enabled him to get past players. Im still a fan of the player though and I think the one club that could rekindle his best is his former club Atletico Madrid. Im sure the Spanish club will not be able to hold on to their sensational Columbian striker Falcao who has been sensational this season and helped Atletico Madrid climb the table to where the currently sit of second, above rivals Real Madrid. Im sure that Chelsea may be able to offer cash plus Torres for a deal for Madrid’s striker Falcao but the most likely time for Torres to leave is the summer after selling Sturridge.
