Spanish champions Atletico Madrid are still keeping tabs on Chelsea’s Fernando Torres, despite Jose Mourinho insisting that he will stay at the club.

The striker has had a nightmare pre-season, missing chances and putting in poor performances, but he has still reportedly got the support of Mourinho, and he just one of three strikers currently at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues released Samuel Eto’o, sold Demba Ba to Besiktas, and sold Romelu Lukaku to Everton, which has left them with just Diego Costa, Didier Drogba and Torres.

As for Madrid, despite signing Mario Mandzukic from Bayern Munich in order to replace Costa, they are still keeping tabs on their former-star, and are monitoring his situation at Chelsea with a bid in the pipeline if the Premier League club are prepared to sell.

It’s not only the Madrid hierarchy that want to re-sign Torres, it’s also the clubs fans who want him signed.

During Mandzukic’s official unveiling as a Atletico player, the fans were chanting one person’s name, and it wasn’t the Croatian’s, it was Torres’.
