5 world-class players who could be on their way to the MLS soon

#4 Fernando Torres

Torres' current contract with Atletico Madrid expires in 2018 and a move to the MLS looks likely

The 33-year-old striker has returned to his boyhood club Atletico Madrid, after stints with the likes of Liverpool and Chelsea, but things have been different this time around. When Torres left Atletico Madrid, he was just 23 years of age and was seen as one of the brightest young players in the footballing world.

Today, he has already justified his stature as one of the best strikers of all times and has won numerous accolades for club and country.

However, with the passage of time, it is only obvious that the striker has lost his pace and acceleration and is finding it tough to break into Los Rojiblancos and with the player moving into the final years of his footballing career, a move to MLS could work out very well for the Spaniard.

Torres is currently in the final year of his contract at Atletico Madrid and with the striker being 33 years of age, and only being employed in a bit part capacity with the club, it is very likely that Torres will be without a club in the summer and the upcoming winter transfer window could prove crucial.

If reports are to be believed then the Spaniard has already received offers from MLS clubs and a move to the United States of America could be on the cards in the transfer window to come.
