Torres netted four goals in as many games to start his Volos career, notably scoring a brace over Atromitos on 6 October.^[3][11] Torres scored again on 30 November during a 2–1 away loss against AEL.^[12] He returned to Newell's in June 2020, having appeared twenty-seven times for Volos.^[3] On 1 February 2021, Torres renewed his contract with Newell's until December 2022.^[13] He was immediately loaned out to Major League Soccer with CF Montréal.^[13] On 21 October 2021, Montréal exercised their option to make Torres' move permanent.^[14]
