"I always will want what's best for the team and always put Atletico Madrid before me," he said in an interview with beIN LaLiga.
"Twice,I have given up what I want most, which is to play here.
"I understand that it is good for the club, and I would do it a third and a fourth time [if I had to]."
Touching upon his time at Liverpool, Torres has fond memories of his first game stepping out on to the hallowed Anfield turf.
"I remember my first game for Liverpool against Chelsea," the striker continued. "You couldn't hear a thing, the atmosphere was unbelievable.
"Pepe Reina said to me, ' See, this is what I was telling you about, this is the stage for you; so go out and enjoy it.'"
