Chelsea attacking duo Fernando Torres and Andre Schurrle are among Atletico Madrid’s top targets for the remainder of this summer’s transfer window, according to Fichajes.com.
The Blues pair are up there with big names such as Borussia Dortmund star Marco Reus and Arsenal playmaker Santi Cazorla as Diego Simeone’s main targets in attack, which could see the two clubs do even more business again this summer.
Diego Costa and Filipe Luis have already moved from Atletico to Chelsea, while Thibaut Courtois has returned to Stamford Bridge after three years on loan in the Spanish capital.

Chelsea youngsters can help us win Eredivisie, says Vitesse manager
Vitesse Arnhem manager Petez Bosz believes the club’s close relationship with Chelsea can help them win the Eredivise title this season, thanks to presence of loanees Wallace and Bertrand Traore.
The two teams have been linked since late-2010, when Georgian owner Merab Jordania, a close friend of Roman Abramovich, brought the club, with the likes of Nemanja Matic, Gael Kakuta, Tomas Kalas, Christian Atsu, Patrick van Aanholt and Lucas Piazon all spending time on loan at the Dutch club in the past.
Up to six Chelsea prospects made up Vitesse’s squad at one point last season, with Traore returning to the team this summer after spending the second-half of the 2013-14 campaign with Bosz’s side.
With Brazilian full-back Wallace joining his Blues teammate in Arnhem, the coach thinks his squad are well set up to improve upon last season’s sixth-place finish, achieved despite the departures of core players Wilfried Bony and Marco van Ginkel to Swansea City and Stamford Bridge, respectively.

Frank Lampard: Man City boss confirms loan deal until January.
Man City Mnanager Manuel Pellegrini has confirmed that Frank
Lampard of Chelsea will join Manchester City on loan from New York City FC
until January.
"From next week,
Wednesday, he will start working with our team and he will be with us until
January," Pellegrini told a press conference on Saturday.
"He is working with the squad. He will fight for his
position."
The 36-year-old signed for New York City last month on a
two-year contract after his release from Chelsea.
Major League Soccer franchise New York City are owned
jointly by Manchester City and baseball giants the New York Yankees, but their
season does not start until March 2015.
John Terry-Didier Drogba will be a Chelsea success again.
The Ivory Coast striker is back at Stamford Bridge after signing a one-year deal last month.
Drogba, 36, scored 157 goals in 342 games in his first spell with the club, which spanned eight years.
Terry, 33, told Chelsea TV: "Didier's still the same. He's been a nightmare to play against in training. He's still strong, sharp and hungry."
Chelsea have signed Diego Costa, Cesc Fabregas and Filipe Luis at a combined cost of £75m this summer.
In addition to Drogba's arrival after he left Turkish side Galatasaray, defender Kurt Zouma and goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois have returned to Chelsea after loan spells.
Former England captain Terry added: "It's important Didier is here because he brings that mentality of wanting to win every day.
"That rubs off on people like Kurt Zouma and the other young players.
"It's time for these players to continue to keep winning trophies for this club and keep the fans and owner happy.
"If I was a Chelsea fan I'd be impressed from what I have seen so far from Diego, Cesc, Filipe and all the boys that have come in like Kurt as well."
Terry admits it feels strange to see former Stamford Bridge team-mates Frank Lampard and Ashley Cole playing for new clubs this season.
Lampard has joined Manchester City, with former England defender Cole signing for Italian club Roma. Terry added: "It just doesn't seem right to see them in different shirts."
