City said they were drawn to Atletico Torque by the the club's "on-field progress, together with recently developed training and playing facilities".
"The investment in CA Torque enables our organization to build on existing connectivity in Uruguay and helps to expand the options for identifying and developing local and South American talent," City Football Group CEO Ferran Soriano said.
