Fernando Torres has confirmed he will leave Atletico Madrid in the summer.

Torres has made just three starts this season.

"This is going to be my last season at the club," Torres told a news conference. "It hasn't been an easy decision and it has been tough to make, but I feel obliged to tell the fans.

"You can see that my role has been very limited. I believe it's the right time to announce it. My conscience is clear and I believe I've given everything I could. My idea had been to hang up my boots here."

Torres wants to continue to play and could go to the United Staes or China.

"I want to continue playing for two, three or five years," he said. "I haven't chosen another team or taken any decision.

"Now I will listen to offers, evaluate them and choose one. Before now, I didn't want to do that."
