Decision will be confirmed "in the next two weeks for sure"

His father, José Torres, said Fernando was close to making a decision, confirming the forward's next move would not be to a European club.

"I am sure it won't be in Europe, it will be a long way away," Torres Sr said, via Sport. "He still doesn't know, but he will say soon, in the next two weeks for sure."
