Torres makes Milan move permanent
Fernando Torres is to join AC Milan on a permanent basis.
The striker moved to the San Siro on a two-year loan deal in August and on January 5 he will complete a permanent transfer to the Serie A side.
Torres, 30, spent three-and-a-half years at Stamford Bridge, in which time he helped Chelsea lift the Champions League, the Europa League and the FA Cup.
A World Cup-winner, Torres joined Chelsea from Liverpool in January 2011. Memorable highlights include his Champions League semi-final breakaway against Barcelona at the Nou Camp and the goal that helped beat Benfica to lift the Europa League trophy a year later.
Torres continued to share in Spain’s international success while at Chelsea. He helped his country to a second successive European Championship in 2012, securing the Golden Boot in the process.
In the busy 2012/13 season his 22 goals were spread over seven competitions, a club record.
Chelsea Football Club thanks Fernando for his service during the past four seasons and wishes him the very best for the future.
