The 34-year-old was unveiled at a press conference on Tuesday, July 10 where he started that he had offers from other continents.
"I had offers from France, Germany, other clubs in Spain,' he said, 'but I did not want to join another European club, as I had the best end possible here with my team (Atletico)," Torres said.
