Interested in the possibility of borrowing the London striker Fernando Torres, "Gazzetta dello Sport" reports.

During the winter transfer window, the Italian champions would like to acquire an attacking footballer who would help fill the gap left by the health problems of Antonio Cassano.

The Milan club has been trying to attract star Carlos Tevez for some time, but the British do not agree to loan the Argentine, as they want to sell him immediately.

Therefore, "Milan" is looking for alternative options, one of which is Torres. In January 2010, the Spaniard moved from "Liverpool" to "Chelsea" for a record sum of 58 million euros, but so far has not lived up to expectations.

This season, the striker has played in 17 matches in all competitions, starting in 11 of them, and scored only four goals. Recently, he has not been included in Andre Villas Boas's starting lineup, but the Portuguese specialist has confirmed that he does not intend to lose Torres during the winter transfer window.

The footballer is also of interest to his native country's team "Malaga."
