Torres remains an important player, admits Atletico Madrid boss Simeone The Spain international is being linked with a return to the Rojiblancos but the clubs Argentine coach is giving nothing away By Mark Doyle Dec 13, 2014 21:04:00 Diego Simeonehas refused to be drawn on Atletico Madrids alleged interest in Fernando Torres, but admitted that the striker is still considered an important figure at the Vicente Calderon. Torres quickly forged a reputation as one of Europes most exciting young forwards after breaking into the Rojiblancos in 2001 before establishing himself as a genuine superstar courtesy of his subsequent exploits with Liverpool and Spain. However, Torres failed dismally to justify his €60 million price tag after moving to Chelsea in 2011 and is currently struggling to settle at AC Milan, having joined the Rossoneri on loan from the Blues during the summer. The 30-year-olds problems in Italy have seen him linked with a dramatic return to Atletico but Simeone is keeping his cards close to his chest. We must to be respectful to my squad, he said. Despite how important a player Fernando is. I cant speak about other players because it wouldnt be fair for my players. I just have to focus on my guys. Torres is still owned by Chelsea, who are contributing towards his wages, but signed a two-year loan deal upon his arrival in Milan.
