Fernando Torres admits he would like to work with Diego Simeone again and has not ruled out a return to Atletico Madrid
Fernando Torres has left the door open for a return to Atletico Madrid and
admits he would like to work with former team-mate Diego Simeone again. That
gives Chelsea
the perfect bargaining tool in their bid to make Atletico striker Diego
Costa the Blues' big summer signing.
Chelsea are also ready to give goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois the chance to
return from his Atletico loan at the end of the season and challenge for the
No 1 spot, which may lead to a tough decision over the future of Petr Cech.
Chelsea striker Torres turned 30 on Thursday and will still have two years to
run on his Stamford Bridge contract at the end of the current campaign.
Manager Jose Mourinho is planning a major reshuffle of his forwards, with
Torres likely to be made available and valued at around £20 million.
Costa is currently top of a list of four strikers Chelsea have identified,
with the club considering whether to meet the £32m release clause in his
Atletico contract.
