A recent report from our friends at NYCFC Nation raised the possibility of current AC Milan (loaned to Atletico Madrid) and Spanish forward Fernando Torres joining former striking partner and good friend David Villa at NYCFC this summer.
The story comes on the heels of earlier reports that Torres had a conversation with Villa about a possible move to the United States, including questions on buying a home and school systems for his children. Torres has been linked with the MLS and China, where he’d become one the highest paid players in the world, but Spanish outlet OkDario reported that the US would be his preferred destination and that NYCFC has pushed the hardest for him.
