Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo has confirmed that the club have rejected a £25.6M (€39M) offer for Fernando Torres from a Premiership club, widely thought to be either Manchester United or Chelsea.
"A Premiership club have offered us £25 million but we have decided to keep him, because for the club he is a strategic player. "I firmly believe that he is not going to leave, although in England would play a great role", stated Cerezo.

I wonder why he rejected Chelsea. He claims he had the "easy option to go to Chelsea". He told a Spanish radio: "There are many people who want me to go. I would have made much money if I left and it pains me that they say I have stayed here to be in a comfort-zone.
I just feel terrible for him. The team is doing so badly (Athletico Madrid) and he is their captain. And he is only 22. Isn't that a big responsibility for such a young person?
But I do admire him. Not many people would like to remain in that sort of a situation. And not many would reject Chelsea.
Anyway good luck to you Fernando... X
