Liverpool striker Fernando Torres has not ruled
out the possibility of returning to Atletico Madrid, but insists it
won't be any time soon.
Torres earned legendary status at Atletico before moving
to Liverpool in 2007.
The 24-year-old Spain international said it was the right time
to leave, but he would love to wear the red and white of Atletico
again.
"I hope to experience many things still, but for me it is an
exceptional club," said Torres.
"I don't know if I will retire there, but I would like to go
back and finish some things that are left to do.
"When I was there I couldn't do any more, but I would like to go
back."
He added: "Right now I have no plans to leave England. Not to
Spain, not to Italy, not to another English club."
Torres has taken the Premier League by storm since leaving his
homeland, scoring 33 goals in all competitions during his first
season at Anfield.
That has put him in the running to win the Ballon d'Or as the
European player of the year, although he does not believe he has
much chance of taking that award.
"No. There is a clear favourite. I think there have been very
few years when there has been someone who has done so much to
deserve the award as Cristiano Ronaldo did last season," Torres
added.
