AC Milan boss Pippo Inzaghi says Fernando Torres leaves with their best wishes.
Torres left Milan last week for Atletico Madrid.
"We left things in the best way [with Torres]," insisted Inzaghi.
"He sent a message to me and to all the staff. He didn't leave just because we'd discovered Menez [in a striker's role], every Sunday I had to make a difficult choice.
"The lure of Atletico was massive for him, and he expressed his desire to return. It was a good deal for everyone.
"I'm sorry he's gone, but we ended things in a beautiful manner. He'll still be a big fan of Milan, and we'll be a big fan of him."
