RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Torres will join Atletico Madrid on loan in January for the rest of this season and all of next term, the club announced Tuesday.
Torres completed a permanent transfer from Chelsea to AC Milan last week, who are then loaning him to his boyhood club. Torres made his professional debut at 17 with the club before eventually becoming captain, scoring 91 goals in 244 games. From a fantasy perspective, he is unlikely to unseat starting striker Mario Mandzukic, and he will have to battle Antoine Griezmann for playing time as well.

RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Torres has joined AC Milan on a two-year loan deal.
Torres has failed to live up to his pricey transfer fee while at Stamford Bridge, which meant he found himself on the substitutes bench more often than not. He should receive regular starts for Milan, with whom he'll try to re-gain his long-absent goalscoring form. It is rather interesting that the deal is for two seasons, though either way it's highly unlikely Torres will don a Chelsea shirt ever again.

RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Torres was left out of the 18-man squad that faced Leicester City on Saturday, as speculation continues to mount that he will be moved this summer.
Torres was an unused substitute for Chelsea's Premier League opener against Burnley on Monday, and there appears to be little upside to staying at Stamford Bridge, as he is firmly stuck behind Diego Costa and Didier Drogba on the depth chart. A number of teams have shown interest in Torres, although manager Jose Mourinho continues to say that he is not for sale.

Roma has asked Chelsea about the possibility of bringing Torres to Italy, reports the Daily Mail.
Chelsea has previously said that the striker is not for sale, but Roma is offering Mattia Destro in exchange to help sweeten the deal. Chelsea have brought in two strikers this summer, Diego Costa and Didier Drogba.
