Sky Sports reports that Fernando Torres is close to signing a contract extension with Atletico Madrid.
The striker, who is out of contact this summer, is reported by Marca as saying:
"It is being finalised, only small details remain.
"I hope it is done soon. Everyone knows my desire and now it is close hopefully it will soon be a reality."
Torres was also asked about the future manager Diego Simeone.
"We all want him to stay. We would love him to stay. But he is entitled to reflect. Everything else is hypothetical."
