This will sum up what has been a steady and brutal fall from grace for a striker once considered among the best in the Premier League and perhaps even the world.
With Mourinho having Diego Costa, Didier Drogba and Loic Remy available currently the 51-year-old does not need another forward and Torres is set to be left in the wilderness.
At 30-years-old this will be quite an embarrassment for a player who was once a British record transfer after the Blues paid Liverpool £50m for his services in January 2011.
That move signaled the start of the decline for Torres and the fact that no club wants him – with his boyhood side Atletico Madrid the latest to reject him – says everything people need to know about how the Spaniard is now regarded in the game.
