Former Atlético Madrid star Milinko Pantic is excited by the imminent return of Fernando Torres.

AC Milan have signed Torres permanently from Chelsea in the last 24 hours, but will then sell him onto Atletico.

"I'm very happy because, apart from how he plays football, I always liked him as a person. He's great and he knows what it's all about.

"He loves the club and I think that we can revive him," the former winger said about the striker.
