His ability and the conditions are perfect. "Sometimes it seemed he struggled to want to be better when I saw him training, it was clear he could be at the level of the best. Now he's got the stage on which to do it. It'll depend more on his mentality than his football." Madrid sold Marcos Llorente to Atletico Madrid in a reported €35m (£31m/$40m) deal, the midfielder arriving at the Wanda Metropolitano ahead of Rodri's anticipated switch to Manchester City. Torres does not see an issue with Llorente moving from Atleti's arch-rivals and hopes the club can become a place where players see out their careers."Atleti is bigger now than thinking about which team the players come from. What's more important is where they are leaving to go," said the World Cup winner. "There will come a time when players will see Atleti as their final destination, where they want to win, to stay, to be part of the history and be remembered forever."It is a step that will be taken soon. No matter where you come from or the name, it matters that you are committed to Atleti. "Once you're there, the people in the club are able to convey what it means. And the day they decide to leave they do so respecting what the club has given them, and nobody will reproach them for anything."</blockquote>
