Albertini admits chatting with Torres about AC Milan move

Players' Union chief Demetrio Albertini is happy for Chelsea striker Fernando Torres over his move to AC Milan.

Albertini played with Torres at Atletico Madrid.

"He asked me information on where to live or what school to register his kids for," Albertini told the Corriere della Sera.

"We've been friends ever since we played together at Atletico Madrid. Even before the World Cup he told me his desire to find a team where he could have space and continue to enjoy himself.

"He needs to feel responsibility on his shoulders, but it also requires planning and I hope that Torres is just one of many more stories we'll read about in the Milan Museum."
