AC Milan hopes to sign Fernando Torres and Marco van Ginkel from Chelsea before the end of the summer transfer window.
Milan would like to bring Torres on a season-long loan after the transfer of Mario Balotelli to Liverpool.
Administrator Adriano Galliani said on the club’s website: “We are in the last stages of the [transfer] market and we will see if we are able to acquire an important forward.
“This is our main aim. Torres is certainly an important forward and we will see if we can sign him or another player.
“Van Ginkel? It’s possible. We have written to Chelsea and are awaiting a response. We are optimistic.”
