Fernando Torres: Chelsea to Barcelona
No one should be that surprised that after a return of just 34 goals in 131 matches for the west London club since joining Chelsea from Liverpool for a British-record transfer fee of £50m in January 2011, the Blues would be happy to let their star man leave, especially following the stunning return of Drogba to the Bridge.
However, what would perhaps raise a few eyebrows amongst Blues fans is the price that the Catalans are able to buy the Spain international for, with Barca agreeing a fee of just £17m for the 29-year-old according to reports on Sky Sports.
Either way, the move suits both parties, especially the Spanish giants who, having returned the striker to his homeland to play in an eye-catching attacking front free alongside Lionel Messi and fellow new arrival Neymar, are now happy to sanction playmaker Cesc Fabregas’s transfer to Manchester United.
