Back Serie A: AC Milan sign Fernando Torres on permanent deal

Chelsea striker Fernando Torres will join AC Milan on a permanent basis in January. The striker had moved to the Serie A club on a two-year loan deal last summer and will now make the move permanent. However, it seems that AC Milan won't keep him, they could send him on loan to Atletico Madrid in exchange for Italian winger Alessio Cerci.

Torres had joined Chelsea from Liverpool for a British record transfer fee of £50m in January 2011. He won the Champions League, Europa League and FA Cup with the Blues. Chelsea release a statement thanking the striker for "his service during the past four seasons" and wished him "the very best for the future".

Torres had been linked with a return to former club Atletico Madrid as the club president admitted the possibility. Atletico assistant coach German Burgos also said a deal was "on the verge of completion". "He will be a very important reinforcement for the second half of the season," Burgos said. Torres left Atletico for Liverpool in 2007 after scoring 84 goals for the Spanish club. He scored just one goal in 10 appearances for AC Milan this season.

AC Milan are 4/1 at Bet365 to finish in the Serie A top three this season.
