Torres resists Serie A interest for Chelsea stay

Fernando Torres wants to stay with Chelsea.

The Mail on Sunday says Torres will turn down the chance to move Roma or AC Milan and stay at Chelsea, with Jose Mourinho insisting that the £50m striker still has a part to play in the squad despite not even making the bench for Saturday's 2-0 win over Leicester.

Both Italian clubs have made inquiries about Torres but the striker is not keen on a move to Italy and Mourinho claims that the Spaniard, who has two years left on his contract, cannot leave as he needs three strikers for the season.

Mourinho said: "I believe he will remain. I want him. He will play. He will score goals. He will be very useful for us. He is a fantastic guy, fantastic professional, so no problem."
