Tottenham’s stance on a potential Pedro Porro transfer away from north London in the upcoming winter window has now been revealed, amid reported interest from Barcelona and Real Madrid.

Pedro Porro has endured injury struggles this season, starting just three Premier League matches.

Despite that, his importance to Tottenham Hotspur is clear, particularly as he remains the club’s only recognised right-back, with midfielder Archie Gray serving as a backup option.

Porro also brings significant experience, and his World Cup triumph with Spain has only added to that, having played a key role in Luis de la Fuente’s success with the national team.

His recent performances have also attracted club interest from Spain, with Barcelona and Real Madrid keen on signing the full-back this winter. Porro himself is understood to be open to a move, and Spurs’ stance on the matter has now emerged.

Tottenham set £75m price tag on Pedro Porro amid Spanish interest

According to Football Insider, Tottenham are understood to be relaxed about the growing interest in Pedro Porro despite Barcelona and Real Madrid monitoring him closely.

Spurs only handed Porro a new deal in the summer, putting them in a strong negotiating position should either of the Spanish giants make an approach.

It is reported that Tottenham have no plans to lose Porro midway through the season and are prepared to place a significant price tag on their World Cup-winning defender.

Porro could become the world’s most expensive full-back

While Football Insider did not specify the exact figure, Spurs Web reported on 16 October that Tottenham would demand £75 million from potential suitors.

If met, that fee would make Porro the most expensive full-back in football history, surpassing the £57 million Paris Saint-Germain paid for Achraf Hakimi in 2021.

Tim Sherwood, who has previously been critical of Pedro Porro’s defensive displays, now counts himself among the full-back’s biggest admirers and has urged Spurs to keep hold of the Spaniard.

He said: “Porro is a good example. When he first came to Tottenham under Antonio Conte, he was having him as an out-and-out right-back, a Gary Neville type right-back. And he could not do that – he used to switch off, making runs off the inside and the outside of him, and he just wanted to play forward.

“But now at Tottenham, although he is injured at the moment, when he plays on the front foot there is no one better as a right-sided player. So I go back and say back then I stand by what I said, but now I think he is progressive, I think he is an excellent right-sided player. It would be very well to keep him.”
