LONDON, Dec. 27 (Xinhua) -- The English Premier League club Chelsea confirmed on Saturday that the spainish scorer Fernando Torres will join AC Milan permanently in the New Year.
At the beginning of the 14/15 season, Torres had moved to Milan on a 2 years ' loan. But he only scored one goal in 10 appearances, which compared with the 65 Premier League goals he scored in 102 appearances for Liverpool.
But the news may not break the striker's willing to go back to Atletico Madrid club. Torres have indicated that the Madrid's club didn't have the funds for a permanent deal themselves, but may yet sign him on another loan deal from Milan once he has left Chelsea.
Torres won the Champions League, the Europa League and the FA Cup in Chelsea. And he got the World Cup and the European champion titles as a spainish international from 2008 to 2012. His bad form may be related to the sparkling career without any regret himself.
Torres scored only 20 in 110 league outings for Chelsea. He joined Chelsea in 2011 from Liverpool.
