Torres to Join AC Milan on A Two Year Loan Deal
Chelsea’s Fernando Torres is to have medical at AC Milan on Saturday after both clubs and the player agreed on a loan deal to the Italian club.
The Spanish striker, who cost a British record £50m when he signed from Liverpool in January 2011, will leave England after seven seasons in the Premier League. He will sign a two-year loan deal at San Siro and also lower his £175,000-a-week salary demands.
Chelsea now set to sign Roma forward, Mattia Destro, in a £20m deal before Monday or Loïc Rémy, available for £8.5m, from Queens Park Rangers.
Torres, who scored only 20 goals in 110 Premier League appearances for Chelsea, has not featured this season and has lost his place in the Spain squad for their games against France and Macedonia next month.
