Official: F.Torres is loaned to "Milan" club.

London's "Chelsea" informed on Friday that they were loaning out striker Fernando Torres, who failed to live up to expectations for two seasons at the "Milan" club.

This summer, there were various rumors about the future of the 30-year-old footballer. Some sources claimed that the striker would return to "Atletico" Madrid, but ultimately it was revealed that Milan would be his next career stop.

The Spanish national team player joined the "Blues" in 2011, and at that time a record transfer fee of 63 million euros was paid for him in English football.

F.Torres will replace Mario Balotelli, who has left the "Rossoneri" team for "Liverpool". It is believed that the Spaniard will earn 215,000 euros per week in Milan.

The experienced footballer played 172 matches for Chelsea, but only scored 45 goals against opponents' goalkeepers.
