Fernando Torres

Atletico can't afford his wages, especially not after they signed Mandzukic, simple as.

Great. But Miranda? another ATM player? kind a boring already... i dont like it.

Well, they did pay David Villa €160k a week + bonuses last season and they've now got him off the wage bill. Paying high wages is not unheard of at Atletico.

While even the €160k figure is not close to Torres' current wages, approximately €220k a week, I would assume he's willing to accept a little less to re-join Atletico, the club he supposedly loves.

He can either play second fiddle to Costa at a team going for the treble here or play second fiddle to Mandzukic at an Atletico side that is likely to be less competitive than last season. And at lower wages as well.

I fear he loves Chelsea too!

The difference is, Atletico plays with 2 strikers up front in a 4-4-2 formation. If he goes back, he can earn a lot of game time since their new guy (correa) is also out for 6 months.

If Torres leaves, can see us sell Lukaku as well ; and go all out for Cavani on 200k a week....dunno about Lukaku willing to challenge with those 2 around lol, that's why seems we have kept Everton waiting to see if we close for Edinson ....Costa, Cavani, Drogba - wow

Torres leaving Chelsea would be such a HUGE BOOST for CFC. Get it done however you can CFC.

[Sovieticus 743]

I think the day Torres leaves this club should be written in history books or some shit.

For his own sake, he should jump at the chance to return to La liga. There's a reason he looks decent in European games when teams don't park the bus all the time and he has space to run into.

He would have that in abundance in Spain.

Don't get your hopes up too high on that

Please...

my reaction if this happens.

[Hybrid Angel 2,130]

Are people going to keep blaming us for weakening Atletico if we sell Torres to them?

[Mustafa 885]

HA! I swear Torres to Atletico is something that comes up every transfer window

[didierforever 7,349]

Please god please. ATM is one team in which torres might actually consider lowering his wages. Lower our asking price to 10mil if this is true. Just do it!!! Please!!!

[Beepu 1,714]

Getting his wage of the books will be a great feat, if Atletico is willing to add a transfer fee then I'd bite their hand off. Let's make it happen Chelsea!

[petre.ispirescu 4,928]

their new guy (correa) is also out for 6 months.

Glad they discovered that heart tumour in time. Such a top talent he is.
