AC Milan are reportedly close to landing Chelsea striker Fernando Torres on a season-long loan.

The Rossoneri are looking to land a replacement for the recently sold Mario Balotelli, who completed his move to Liverpool on Monday.

Sportmediaset are reporting that the Milan club have zeroed in on Torres as a like-for-like replacement for the Italian international, with a deal close to being finalized for the Spaniard.

The move would see the 30-year-old join the Rossoneri on loan, though the financial details of the move are still being worked on by both clubs.

It is believed that the two clubs are also working on a similar loan move for youngster Marco van Ginkel.

Torres scored 11 goals in 41 appearances for the English giants last season.
