Club career

Racing Santander

Born in Soto de la Marina [es], Cantabria, Torre joined Racing de Santander's youth setup in 2015, from CD Marina Sport.[2] On 15 April 2020, while still a youth, he signed a professional contract with the club, until June 2025.[3][4]

Torre made his senior debut with the reserves on 19 July 2020, starting in a 1–1 away draw against Gimnástica de Torrelavega, for the year's Tercera División promotion play-offs.[5] In August, aged only 17, he was a part of the first team squad in the pre-season under manager Javi Rozada,[6] and was definitely promoted to the main squad in September.[7]

Torre made his first team debut for Racing on 18 October 2020, starting in the opening match of the 2020–21 Segunda División B, a 1–1 home draw against Club Portugalete.[6][8] He scored his first senior goal the following 21 February, netting his team's second in a 3–1 home win over CD Laredo;[9] six days later, he scored a brace in a 4–0 away routing of Barakaldo CF.[10]

A regular starter during his first full season as a senior, Torre was assigned the number 10 jersey ahead of the 2021–22 campaign, in the new third tier called Primera División RFEF.[11] He contributed with ten goals in 32 matches (play-offs included) as Racing achieved promotion to Segunda División.

Barcelona

On 4 March 2022, FC Barcelona reached an agreement with Racing for the transfer of Torre for a fee of €5 million plus variables,[12] and he was initially assigned to the B team for the 2022–23 season.[13][14] He signed a contract until June 2026 on 15 June.[15]

On 7 September 2022, Torre played his first Champions League match, coming on for Franck Kessié in the 81st minute, in a 5–1 win over Viktoria Plzeň in the first match of the 2022–23 season.[16] On 23 October, Torre played his first La Liga game for Barcelona at Camp Nou, coming on for Ousmane Dembélé in the 77th minute against Athletic Bilbao.[17] On 1 November, he scored his first Champions League goal in a 4–2 away win over Viktoria Plzeň in the second leg of the same season.[18]

Loan to Girona

On 18 July 2023, Torre was loaned to fellow top tier side Girona for the 2023–24 season.[19] On 12 August 2023, he made his debut for the club in a league match against Real Sociedad.

Return to Barcelona

Torre returned to Barcelona for the 2024–25 season.[1] He made an immediate impact under new head coach Hansi Flick, scoring in a 5–1 win over Villarreal on 22 September 2024 and netting a brace in a 5–1 victory against Sevilla on 20 October 2024.[20][21]

Torre also scored one goal and provided two assists in the Copa del Rey R32 match against Barbastro on January 4, 2025. This remarkable tally brings his season total to 4 goals and 3 assists, which translates to a goal contribution per 50 minutes in just 348 minutes of playing time for the season.[22][23]
