Chelsea, Milan plan Torres swap?



Chelsea and AC Milan could be planning a swap deal to bring Fernando Torres to Italy, and Brazilian Robinho to England.

According to reports in talkSPORT, the two football giants are looking at doing a deal in January as both look for filling missing links in their attack.

The Spaniard has simply not been able to shine for Chelsea after a big money £50 million transfer from Liverpool and January, and it has not helped matters that recent reports confirmed he slammed his own squad's midfielders as "very slow".

Although Blues manager Andre Villa-Boas has not blown up the matter, with six first team strikers in his squad, the Portuguese could well decide that Torres is surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge.



According to Sportmediaset, which is run by AC Milan owner Silvio Berlusconi, the Serie A giants could make a shock move to bring in the Spaniard in exchange for Robinho.

AC Milan have long been admirers of the striker from his days with Atletico Madrid, and are willing to give him an escape from his troubles in London.

The deal is far from agreed though, as Chelsea are keen to bring in youngster Alexandre Pato in exchange, rather than Robinho, but the Serie A side are adamant that only Robinho is surplus to requirements at the San Siro.
