‘Atletico want Torres in time for derby Juanfran has said Atletico Madrid are keen to complete the signing of Fernando Torres in time for the Copa del Rey derby with Real Madrid on January 7. The Milan loanee is reportedly closing in on a return to Vicente Calderon, with Alessio Cerci thought to be heading to San Siro in the opposite direction. Consequently, the full-back is desperate to see a deal tied up so the former Liverpool striker can mark his comeback against Atletis bitter rivals. Like all of Atleti, Im looking forward to the signing of Torres once its confirmed, he issued to reporters in his hometown of Crevillente. Fernandos a great player. Im convinced that with the desire of him, the club and the Coach, well see a great Fernando. Hell give everything hes got.

I havent spoken to [Cerci] but hes our player and we want him to stay because were currently a great team.
