Two former top-drawer Spanish footballers are being moved on from their respective clubs, though both are landing comfortably at another elite European outfit.

Chelsea striker Fernando Torres is set to end his miserable spell at Stamford Bridge by joining AC Milan on loan for the next two seasons - though the 30-year-old has yet to agree terms.

And European football's Champions League winners Real Madrid have reached an agreement with German champions Bayern Munich over the transfer of Xabi Alonso.

Alonso joins on a two-year deal as Bayern seek to boost their midfield options following a string of injuries.
