Madrid: Atletico Madrid are close to tying up a deal for Spain forward Fernando Torres to return to his boyhood club on loan from Chelsea, assistant coach German Burgos said on Saturday.
Torres, 30, joined AC Milan on a two-year loan in August but has yet to rediscover his form and has only managed one goal in 10 Serie A appearances.
"It (the Torres deal) is on the verge of completion and we are waiting for things to firm up," Burgos was quoted as saying in Spanish media.
"He will be a very important reinforcement for the second half of the season," added Diego Simeone`s number two.
"We will get the best out of him, the same as everyone, and he knows where he is coming to."
Atletico`s Italy winger Alessio Cerci will move to Milan on loan as part of the deal, which will run until the end of the 2015-16 season, Spanish media reported.
Cerci said on his Facebook page on Saturday he had not yet signed with another club.
"I am an Atletico Madrid player and together with the club I am considering the best solution for both," he added. "I think that is right and normal."
