AS says Atleti fans chanted the name of Torres during the official presentation of Mario Mandzukic.
The Croatian has joined the club in a big-money deal from Bayern Munich, but that did not stop supporters calling for the return of Torres, who remains a cult hero in the Spanish capital.
The Chelsea man began his career at the Calderon and has been linked with a return this summer.
It was mooted that he would be used as bait in a deal for Diego Costa, but the latter made his switch to London in a cash-only deal.
