Club career

Born in Foios, Horta Nord, Valencian Community, Torres joined Valencia CF's youth setup in 2006, aged six.[1] On 15 October 2016, while still a junior, he made his senior debut with the reserves by coming on as a substitute for Grego Sierra in a 0–2 Segunda División B home loss against RCD Mallorca B.[2]

Torres was definitely promoted to the B-side ahead of the 2017–18 campaign, and scored his first senior goal on 26 August 2017 by netting his team's second in a 4–1 home routing of CF Peralada-Girona B.[3] On 5 October, after being strongly linked to FC Barcelona and Real Madrid,[4] he renewed his contract and extended his release clause to € 25 million, being also definitely promoted to the first team the following 1 January.[5]

Torres made his first team debut on 30 November 2017, replacing fellow youth graduate Nacho Gil in a 4–1 home routing of Real Zaragoza, for the season's Copa del Rey.[6] He made his La Liga debut on 16 December, playing the last nine minutes in a 1–2 loss at SD Eibar.[7]
