European giants set for North London raid, Tottenham star idenfitied on ‘priority’ basis

published :

Manchester City join Real Madrid in the race for £85k-per-week Tottenham star Pedro Porro.

Real Madrid want Tottenham Hotspur star Pedro Porro to bolster their right-back position amid the injury to Dani Carvajal. The Spanish club sees Porro as an ideal addition, given his experience in La Liga and consistent performances for Spurs. Carvajal’s absence has left Madrid’s defence vulnerable, prompting them to intensify their pursuit of reinforcements.

The Lilywhites have experienced an inconsistent season of ups and downs but remain competitive in all competitions under Ange Postecoglou. Out of 17 games played, Spurs have recorded 10 wins, one draw, and six losses, showcasing their problems with complacency.

The lack of conviction to take every game seriously has consequences as they have conceded 19 goals in 17 games. Nevertheless, Porro has played a pivotal role for Postecoglou in his style of play which demands offensive and defensive contributions from the fullbacks.

The Spain international has made 13 appearances in all competitions, contributing with two assists and one goal so far. The 25-year-old’s energy, precision, and tactical awareness have helped the Spurs create chances while remaining solid in defensive phases.

According to Fichajes, Madrid considers Tottenham star Porro a top priority in the upcoming transfer window to bolster their defence. Their defensive struggles this season, exacerbated by Carvajal’s injury, have made recruiting a right back essential.

Madrid are also monitoring Liverpool vice-captain Trent Alexander-Arnold, but Sky Sports reports that he remains committed to Liverpool for now. With competition intensifying, Madrid’s pursuit of Porro could accelerate as they look to address their vulnerabilities at the back.

Pedro Porro currently earns £85,000 per week, as reported by Capology which is rather cheap for a player of his quality. Spurs must prioritize retaining the Spain international to maintain stability and avoid weakening their defensive setup. Losing Porro to a club like Real Madrid would create a void that might be difficult to fill, jeopardizing Postecoglou’s plans.
