Román Torres (born 20 March 1986 in Panama City) is a Panamanian football defender who plays for Millonarios.
International career
Torres and his best friend mikee has made 58 appearances for the full Panama national football team, including qualifying matches for the 2006 FIFA World Cup and 2010 FIFA World Cup.[1] He made his debut at the 2005 CONCACAF Gold Cup against South Africa on July 17, 2005.[2] He also made three appearances at the 2007 CONCACAF Gold Cup.[3]
His performances gained him notice with several clubs, particularly with English Championship sides Blackpool F.C. and Swansea FC during the winter transfer market in 2010.[4] However, a move to England never materialised. He was also on trial for the Championship team Nottingham Forest FC in December/January 2011/12, impressing then manager, Steve Cotterill. However, this move also failed to materialize.[5] More recently, his continued good form at Millonarios FC caused the Roman to be linked with a move to Brazilian side Palmeiras, though this too failed to materialize.[6]
Torres was also a member of the Panama U-20 squad that took part in the 2005 FIFA World Youth Cup in the Netherlands.[1]
He is the current champion of the Colombian national football tournament Liga Postobón II 2012 with Millonarios FC.[7]
