Torres To Stay At The Bridge This Summer!

Torres To Stay At The Bridge This Summer!

Spanish striker, Fernando Torres is among the three strikers at Mourinho’s disposal along with new signing Diego Costa and Didier Drogba, who returned to Stamford Bridge after two seasons. There was much speculation regarding the future of Torres, who was linked with a return to Spain with Atletico Madrid as well as other moves to Italian teams such as AC Milan and Napoli.

However, the £50 million signing will not be leaving Chelsea this summer, much to the frustration of some Chelsea fans. Mourinho has already allowed Demba Ba and Samuel Eto’o to leave the club and wants a minimum of three strikers in his squad for the entire season.

According to the Daily Mail, he said, “I want three strikers in the team. Sometimes I want to play with two and have one on the bench. At other times, someone will be suspended, another will be injured.”

“Someone will be needed as a third striker. I can’t do a season without a third striker. Our squad was made carefully the top structure of my club to give me what I want. I believe he will remain. I want him. He will play. He will score goals. He will be very useful for us. He is a fantastic guy, fantastic professional, so no problem.”

So presumably we are to ignore the constant rumors of Torres pitching up at AC Milan to replace the new Liverpool striker Mario Balotelli.
