Chelsea: Fernando Torres joins AC Milan on two-year loan Chelsea striker Fernando Torres is to join AC Milan on a two-year loan deal. The Spaniards move is subject to him agreeing personal terms and passing a medical on Saturday. The ex-Liverpool and Atletico Madrid forward joined Chelsea for a then-British record £50m in January 2011. Torres scored 20 goals in 110 league appearances during his spell at Stamford Bridge. He scored 65 goals in 102 league appearances during his time in Merseyside. Manager Jose Mourinho said: If he wants to leave, its because he wants to try a new life, a new club, probably a new league. Torres had struggled during his time at Chelsea, finding first team appearances limited. His prospects were hampered further by the arrival of fellow countryman Diego Costa from Atletico Madrid this summer. Costa and Didier Drogba remain Chelseas attacking options.
