Spanish international Fernando Torres has agreed to return to Atletico Madrid on loan from AC Milan until the end of the 2015-16 season.

The deal, which will see ‘El Niño’ rejoin his boyhood club more than 17 years after he played his first game for them, is subject to the striker passing a medical and will be finalised on Jan 5, when the Italian transfer window opens.

Torres, who scored 91 goals for los Colchoneros before joining Liverpool in 2007, could make his debut against Real Madrid in the first leg of a Copa del Rey last-16 tie on January 7.
