Atlético de Madrid El Niño's agent confirms

José Antonio Martin 'Petón', managing director of Bahía Internacional, the agency who represents Fernando Torres, revealed on Spanish radio station Cadena COPE that the Atlético Madrid forward "has eight offers at this moment in time" to play for other teams next season.

It's worth remembering that as a result of the UEFA sanction, Atlético Madrid have until the 31st of January to sign him as after that date they will be unable to register players. Neither the player nor his people have received an official offer regarding the current situation.

Petón encouraged Atlético Madrid to sit down and speak if they want the Madrid born player to continue. "Fernando and Simeone should sit down and speak about it. He has an offer that would see him the best paid player in the world", he claimed. "Everything depends on what the club want. The feeling I have on this subject is that they need to solve it, not Gil Marin nor Andrea Berta, but Simeone and Torres. They're friends and he just needs to say 'I'm counting on you, or I'm not counting on you'. It's undeniable that the supporters want him to renew", adding that the offers are from "China and lots of places, different places around the world".
