Fernando Torres is thrilled with his return to Atletico Madrid. Torres has officially signed for Atletico from AC Milan.

"The transfer to Milan was a new challenge for me," said Torres. "They showed me that they needed me, that they wanted to use me as a key player.

"But after a few months the situation changed. The Coach decided to make use of different players and I didn't find what I was looking for when I left England.

"If you're looking for something and you don't find it, you've got to keep looking.

"I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Milan, who allowed me to leave.

"I thought I was important for Milan, but things went differently. Now, there is no better place than Atletico.

"I'm going to Atletico in search of happiness. As a child my dream was to play for Atletico and to go back now is another dream I've completed.

"People know it's my home and I've felt the sadness at their defeats and also the joy of their successes. I've jumped off the couch at them and nobody can doubt how I'll feel when I pull on that shirt again.

"The Atletico fans always ask that you leave everything out on the pitch and I can assure them I'll be doing that and much more."
