The 22-year-old defender is still a fan of the Brazilian's talent but was not impressed with his actions since the end of last season and thinks that he was badly advised.
Madrid president Ramón Calderón blamed Robinho's advisor, Vagne Ribeiro, for holding a press conference where he said he wanted to leave and Torres stated that he could never have done that.
"I would never accept something like that. My dad and my uncle take care of my affairs -the latter is a lawyer-. That says it all," he told AS.
"I do not like commissions and the club knows my family will never treat this as business. I play for Real Madrid; what more could I ask for?
"Robinho is a great player, but we all have to row in the same direction."
Torres was still earning €30,000-per-year after he mhad made 20 first team appearances for Madrid and valued his place in the team more than worrying about a bigger contract.
"There is no merit in it. I value a quality lifestyle, not material things. I prefer to be close to my family, in my own city and on the team I love than to earn a lot of money," he continued.
"I signed for what they offered. I would have signed for even less. Money doesn't rule my life."
Torres was then outraged when asked whether he felt that Raúl was losing his touch and could no longer command a regular place in the first team.
"Of course he is not! He is the most natural guy I have ever met and the player who has given me the most advice. I'm sure he will help Real Madrid return to Cibeles this year."
