Fernando Torres will likely leave Chelsea this offseason and a transfer back to Atlético Madrid is possible.
Torres turned 30 years old on Thursday.
"In football, you never know," Torres said on Thursday when asked about a return to Atlético. "You don’t know where you’re going to be tomorrow, in a week’s time or in 10 years’ time. How can I answer that question?
"You never know where life is going to take you. There’s nothing to say I’d end up with [Diego] Simeone here or at Atleti. Who could have told me that I was going to coincide with Rafa Benitez at two different English clubs?"
Torres said he admired his former teammate Simeone, Atlético's current coach.
"He helped me a lot," he added. "He taught me how to be a captain; he taught me a lot in the seasons we played together at Atleti.
"I always want to work with people I admire. I admired Rafa Benítez from the outside, and I had the chance to work with him. The same goes for Jose Mourinho or Luis Aragones. I’ve been lucky enough to work with people who, when you saw them from the outside, you said: 'What have they got, what’s their secret, why do all the teams they coach work well…?' Simeone is like [Pep] Guardiola or like other coaches, who you’d like to go and see how they coach and learn."
