According to a report by Barca Universal on Tuesday November 10, 2026, Tottenham Hotspur right-back Pedro Porro has admitted that Barcelona’s reported interest in signing him is flattering, but insists he remains happy at his current club.

The Spanish defender also praised Barcelona youngsters Lamine Yamal and Pau Cubarsi after playing alongside them for the national team.

Porro attracted attention from Barcelona and Real Madrid after impressing during Spain’s 2026 FIFA World Cup campaign. However, neither move materialised, with Barcelona continuing to rely on Jules Kounde and Eric Garcia at right-back.

Speaking to SPORT, the 27-year-old welcomed the links to the Catalan giants. He explained that interest from one of the world’s biggest clubs suggests he is performing well and motivates him to maintain his standards.

Porro was also told that Barcelona president Joan Laporta reportedly admires him. The Tottenham defender described that recognition as another compliment, adding that it is encouraging when someone outside his own club appreciates his work.

Despite the speculation, Porro stressed that he is under contract with Tottenham and remains happy at the Premier League side. He acknowledged that rumours are part of football but said his immediate attention is on Spain, leaving any future developments for another time.

The defender also spoke warmly about Yamal, describing the teenager as an outstanding player who supports his teammates. Porro said playing alongside the Barcelona winger has made him more confident during the World Cup.

He added that Yamal contributes defensively when needed, despite being more effective in attacking areas. Porro encourages the youngster to focus on going forward because he is ready to provide support behind him.

Porro also praised Cubarsi, who recently won the 2026 Golden Boy award. He called the 19-year-old an extraordinary talent and believes his mentality, quality and achievements at such a young age could make him one of the world’s best centre-backs.
