Hochi Shimbun, the Japanese sports newspaper, claim that Sagan Tosu - currently next to bottom in the J League - are lining up an audacious move for the 34-year-old which would see him make around £3.5m annually.
The report has been picked up by Spanish outlet Marca, which says that Sagan Tosu would be willing to part with Colombian Victor Ibarbo - their current overseas player - if it meant securing Torres.
Torres came through the youth ranks at Atleti, eventually leaving them for Anfield in 2007. Despite being a key player for the first three years at the club, his form dipped during his fourth season on Merseyside and he was allowed to leave for Chelsea in January 2011.
Despite scoring a crucial goal in the Champions League semi-final against Barcelona in 2012, Torres never rediscovered his best form at Stamford Bridge. He left in 2014 for AC Milan, before finally returning to Atleti.Quiz: Name England and Croatia’s starting XIs from the 2018 World Cup semi-final
