Fernando Torres has dropped a major hint that he is considering a sensational return to football.
The former Chelsea and Liverpool striker hung up his boots in August 2019 after a stint with Japanese side Sagan Tosu.
El Nino would then take up a coaching role with Atletico’s B team of last year before becoming their manager in January – a position he has temporarily stepped away from due to personal reasons.
Away from football, the 37-year-old went viral last year after piling on the muscle in a dramatic body transformation.
Now Torres could be putting his new-found figure to good use back on the football pitch judging by his latest social media post.
Posting an image of the iconic No9 shirt, he wrote the caption: “I only understand life in one way – playing. That’s why I’ve decided to return.”
Fans will need to wait for more information with Torres adding: “This Friday I will communicate where.”
