Pedro Porro is flattered by interest from Barcelona after seemingly giving the green light for the Spanish giants to come get him from Tottenham.

Spurs man Porro is often liked with some of Europe’s biggest clubs. His consistent level in a Tottenham side which has underachieved for much of his time at the club, and his role in Spain’s 2026 World Cup triumph, have piqued the interest of many.

In his native Spain, Barcelona and Real Madrid are the two most interested clubs, and the former’s president is said to be a particular fan of the right-back.

Porro has been asked about those links in an interview with Sport.

He said: “Really? I hadn’t seen that. Well, it’s flattering coming from him.

“It’s nice that the president of another club, one that isn’t mine, likes me. It probably means I’m doing things well.

“I have a contract with my club and I’m very happy there. I also have to respect my club. Obviously, that’s football, things come out, rumours come out. But I’m focused on the national team now, and then we’ll see.”

Pedro Porro has opened door to Spanish return

Porro has been with Tottenham since 2023. Prior to that, the right-back spent a few years in Portugal with Sporting CP, and was owned by Manchester City for some of that time.

The Spanish defender has not actually played club football in Spain since the 2019/20 campaign.

But it seems he’s hopeful that his next move is going to be back to his homeland.

Our friends at TEAMtalk revealed in recent days that Porro has his heart set on a move back to Spain.

The report states admiration from Barca and Real is clear, which could help one of the giants to secure the services of the right-back.

Amid the firm focus on a return to Spain, Premier League sides Chelsea, City and Liverpool have essentially all been shunned.

Indeed, while he’s an attractive target for each, Porro doesn’t have eyes for any move besides back home.

Tottenham have a strong negotiating position, with their defender contracted until 2031, but they recognise the appeal for him to head back to Spain.

Indeed, they want to earn more than £57million, with right-back Achraf Hakimi’s move to Paris Saint-Germain in 2021 used as a benchmark.

A January move has not been ruled out, with Barcelona potentially ready to make a move if they are able to raise funds first.
