Torres, who was born in Foios, Valencian Community, joined Valencia CF’s youth setup in 2006 when he was six years old.

After being strongly linked with Barcelona and Real Madrid, he renewed his contract on October 5, increasing his release clause to €25 million. On January 1, 2018, he was also promoted to the first team. Torres made his first team debut on November 30, 2017, replacing fellow youth graduate Nacho Gil in a 4-1 home win over Real Zaragoza in the Copa del Rey that season. On December 16, he made his La Liga debut, playing the final nine minutes of a 1-2 loss at Eibar, becoming the league’s first player born in the 2000s. Torres made his European and Champions League debuts against Young Boys on October 23, 2018. On January 19, 2019, he scored his first La Liga goal in a 2-1 victory over Celta Vigo, ten minutes after being substituted in. On May 25, at the Estadio Benito Villamarn in Seville, he watched Valencia defeat Barcelona 2-1 in the 2019 Copa del Rey Final.
Torres became Valencia’s youngest goalscorer in the Champions League on November 5, 2019, when he scored his team’s final goal in a 4-1 victory over Lille at home.

Torres made his Premier League debut in City’s first game of the season, coming on as a substitute in a 3-1 away win against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
