Out-of-favour AC Milan star Fernando Torres is being eyed by Brazilian club Corinthians.

Torres has failed to impress during the first few months of his projected two-year loan stay at the San Siro, with a host of potential suitors said to be on his trail.

According to Brazilian media group R7, Corinthians are looking to recruit an experienced forward after learning of Peruvian striker Paolo Guerrero’s intentions to seek a transfer away from the club.

Contact with the 30-year-old Spaniard’s representatives has already been instigated since the idea of signing Torres was originally floated by executives of the Timao, and a six-month loan agreement is believed to be their preferred option ahead of a February beginning to the Copa Libertadores.

Corinthians will face some stiff competition for Torres’ signature, as his former clubs Liverpool and Atletico Madrid are both reported to have an interest in taking him back to familiar surroundings.
