Torres waives Chelsea payoff to join AC Milan

Chelsea striker Fernando Torres proved to AC Milan he just wants to play yesterday.

Torres has joined the Rossoneri on a two-year loan deal.

The Daily Express says Torres' agents and AC Milan's representatives had been locked in talks with Chelsea for hours over the deal for the £50 million Spaniard. But an agreement was eventually reached at around 5pm, and the Spaniard is due in Milan for a medical this morning.

Torres had wanted a pay off from Chelsea for the remaining two years of his deal, but it is understood that he waived that requirement in order to push the move through.
