Speaking just hours before the deal was announced, Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho said: "If he wants to leave, it's because he wants to try a new life, a new club, probably a new league. To try to be happier than he was in the last couple of years."Torres's prospects were hampered further by the arrival of fellow Spain international Diego Costa from Atletico Madrid this summer. Costa and Didier Drogba remain Chelsea's attacking options.
The Spain international has endured a troubled career at Stamford Bridge, struggling for form following his then British record-breaking €63 million move from Liverpool, but will now stay with the Rossoneri until 2016.
Goal reported the San Siro outfit's interest earlier this week, though there had been fears that the deal could collapse over the 30-year-old's €214,000-a-week wages, but the two sides have worked hard to reach an agreement.
The move, however, is subject to personal terms and a medical, with Torres now en route to Milan to compete the deal.
