The forward, speaking from Kennesaw State University where Luis de la Fuente's squad have been based, was asked directly about reports linking him with a departure from Barcelona and whether he expects to be at the club next season.
Torres responded with a smile, making clear that the topic was not where his mind was ahead of Spain's tournament debut.
"I don't know and I don't care. The important thing is to get the three points tomorrow and make a good debut. I see myself playing tomorrow against Cape Verde."
The forward, who has been a regular for Spain since establishing himself at Manchester City before his move to Barcelona, said he was feeling sharp heading into the tournament.
"I feel good, happy with how things are going and confident for what's coming."
Asked about his preferred position in attack, Torres pointed to his versatility, a quality that has made him a useful option across the front line for both club and country.
"Being on the pitch. I can play in all three positions up front and that's where the coach decides where he wants to put me."
He also pushed back on the idea that Spain's squad relies on a single figurehead, framing the group as one with shared responsibility regardless of who starts.
"There are 26 leaders here and anyone can perform at the highest level and be a starter. From there, the coach decides. We will all be important."
Torres pointed to the long-standing core of Spain's squad as a significant advantage heading into the competition, with many of the group having played together for several years.
"When you've been playing with the same team-mates for many years, it's a plus. You feel more comfortable and with more confidence."
On the significance of the opening match itself, Torres did not downplay what is at stake against Cape Verde.
"We give it the importance that all matches have. There's a lot at stake. The first game you have to start strong and stamp our style."
The forward also touched on the responsibility of wearing Spain's number 7 shirt, a number with significant history in Spanish football.
"It's always been a special number for me. Players like David Villa or Alvaro Morata wore it. When I got it I sent him a message to tell him."
He closed by sending support to UFC fighter Ilia Topuria, who also has a major event this weekend.
"We're going to win both. They're going to be two perfect nights. I send him a lot of encouragement for tonight."
With his future at Barcelona left deliberately unaddressed, Torres has made clear where his priorities lie for now. Spain's opening match against Cape Verde will be the only thing on his mind until the final whistle, with the wider questions about his club career parked until the World Cup conversation has run its course.
