Óliver Torres arrived 12 years ago, won over the Dragão straight away | OneFootball

On 29 June 2014, FC Porto secured the loan signing of Óliver Torres from Atlético de Madrid for the 2014/15 season, in an agreement valid until 30 June 2015 and with no option to buy.

The Spanish midfielder, then 19, quickly became one of the standout figures in the Porto team during his first spell at the Dragão. That season, he made 40 appearances and scored seven goals, a performance that earned him the award for Best Young Player in the Portuguese League in 2014/15 and strengthened his bond with the blue-and-white supporters.

After returning to Madrid, Óliver came back to FC Porto in 2016, again on loan, before being signed permanently by the Dragons. The transfer ended up being associated with an investment of around €20 million.

In total, the midfielder represented FC Porto in two separate spells — 2014/15 and from 2016 to 2019 — amassing 146 appearances, 12 goals and 20 assists. During that time, he won one Portuguese League title and one Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira.

Óliver left his mark on the club through his technical quality, vision and influence in midfield, in a journey that began precisely with the agreement reached between FC Porto and Atlético de Madrid in the summer of 2014.
