The love story between Atletico Madrid and Fernando Torres is about to take another step into enlarging their legacy. Not being able to win the Champions League last season was a huge blow for him, this leaves him with the pending assignment of winning a trophy with the club that he loves because since he arrived that hasn't been possible.
He spoke to the club's website about the new deal he's made: "I'm delighted to continue at home, the only place where I ever wanted to be, and it has finally come true. [I am] happy to be here, I've never had doubts about where I wanted to be during all this process in which we didn't know what was going to happen and, in the end, what matters is that I have achieved what I was expecting."
Club's sporting director Jose Luis Caminero, was also very pleased with the negotiations and the decision Torres made to stay for one more year: "[This is] great news for everyone, since Fernando is part of the family and all the Atleticos are delighted with the fact that he can continue with us. He knows the club perfectly and is a benchmark for all of his team-mates. The players trained in our Academy have a model to follow and he always has good advice to give to them. He is a man with a tremendous experience, used to winning titles and competing at the highest level."
