Joaquín Eduardo Torres (born 28 January 1997) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a winger for Chilean club Universidad Católica on loan from Philadelphia Union of Major League Soccer.[3]
Torres began his youth career with ACDC Patagonia, prior to signing for Newell's Old Boys in 2010.[4] His senior career started in 2015 with Argentine Primera División side Newell's.[3] [5] He made his professional debut during the 2015 campaign, playing the final twelve minutes of a 2–0 defeat to Belgrano.[3] He made another two appearances in all competitions across 2016, but he didn't feature in the 2016–17 season.[3] [6] In 2017–18, Torres scored his first senior goal in his second start against Olimpo on 16 September.[3] [7] On 26 August 2019, newly promoted Super League Greece side Volos announced the arrival of Torres; a first move abroad.[8] [9] [10]
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]
On 26 January 2023, Torres was traded to Philadelphia Union in exchange for $500,000 in General Allocation Money, with potential for that fee to rise to $800,000.[15] In 2024, he was loaned out to Chilean Primera División side Universidad Católica on a one-year deal.[16]
