Fernando Torres will likely join a club in US top flight Major League Soccer or China when his contract with Atletico Madrid expires this summer, according to his agent. NaijaBet.com
The former Liverpool and Chelsea striker initially rejoined Los Rojiblancos on loan in 2015, before completing a permanent transfer in 2016, but his time at the Wanda Metropolitano is now coming to a close, and his agent has revealed Torres’ options going forward. NaijaBet.com
Antonio Sanz, director of communication with Torres’ representatives Bahia Internacional, insists Europe and the Middle East remain out of the question for the striker, instead confirming that the Spaniard has two options, MLS or the Chinese Super League.
Speaking to reporters, according to Football Espana, Sanz said: “There is no team yet. NaijaBet.com
“But we do have ideas. One option is the U.S. and another China. Not Europe, nor the Middle East.”
The Atletico academy graduate has been used sporadically by Diego Simeone this season, starting in just three La Liga appearances, while the capital club also re-signed striker Diego Costa from Chelsea earlier this campaign. NaijaBet.com
Torres is yet to win silverware with his boyhood club, but he could achieve that feat this season, with Atletico still vying in the Europa League, and are set to lock horns with Sporting Lisbon on Thursday night in the quarter-final of the competition.
