Chelsea are to make Argentinean midfielder Juan Sebastian Veron return from Inter Milan, in a bid to use him as part of a deal to lure Atletico Madrid’s Fernando Torres to Stamford Bridge. Veron is thought to want to stay at Inter, but could have little choice in the matter as Inter have so far refused to meet Chelsea’s asking price for the player.

Torres would be an amazing coup for Chelsea who have just failed in a world record bid for AC Milan’s Shevchenko.
