Fernando Torres has signed a one-year contract with Atletico Madrid following the expiration of his deal with AC Milan.
"I'm delighted to continue at home, the only place where I ever wanted to be, and it has finally come true," Torres told Atletico's official website.
"[I am] happy to be here, I've never had doubts about where I wanted to be during all this process in which we didn't know what was going to happen and, in the end, what matters is that I have achieved what I was expecting."
The striker's difficulties continued the following season, but, after a drought of more than four months, he scored his 100th goal for the club in the 3-1 victory over Eibar in February this year.
"[This is] great news for everyone, since Fernando is part of the family and all the Atleticos are delighted with the fact that he can continue with us," he said.
"He knows the club perfectly and is a benchmark for all of his team-mates. The players trained in our Academy have a model to follow and he always has good advice to give to them.
"He is a man with a tremendous experience, used to winning titles and competing at the highest level."
