Torres strikes new deal with Atletico

Striker Fernando Torres will stay at Atletico Madrid until the end of next season after signing a one-year extension, the La Liga club announced on Wednesday. No terms were revealed. The former Spain international’s contract had run out, but he will now stay at Atletico until June 30, 2018.

The team is under a transfer ban, but it has been a successful offseason so far for coach Diego Simeone, having also seen key forward Antoine Griezmann pen a new deal to keep him with the club until 2022.
