Tottenham Hotspur right-back, Pedro Porro, has recently opened up about the transfer interest coming from Real Madrid. In an interview with ElDesmarque (h/t MARCA), he expressed that such attention makes him feel good about his career progression.
Porro is one of the players that Real Madrid, also known as Los Blancos, are considering to strengthen their right-back position. However, Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold remains their primary target. If Alexander-Arnold signs a new contract with Liverpool, a move for him will be off the table. Consequently, Real Madrid is keeping a Plan B ready with Porro identified as an alternative.
The former Manchester City player views this interest from one of the world's most prestigious clubs as a compliment and validation of his performance on the field.
Balancing current commitments and future prospects
Despite acknowledging the flattering interest from Real Madrid, Porro emphasized his commitment to Tottenham Hotspur and his role in Spain’s national team.
Tottenham Hotspur player, Pedro Porro, said:
“My friends send me the rumours, it’s a compliment…. It’s the fruit of a job well done that one of the best clubs in the world is looking at me,”
However, during this conversation he hinted at potential future moves by naming Federico Valverde - Merengues' No. 8 - in his ideal XI team line-up.
Potential return to La Liga?
In addition to expressing admiration for Valverde and hinting at possible future plans involving Real Madrid, Porro did not shy away from revealing more personal preferences that could influence his career trajectory.
When asked about where he would like to live in future years, he pointed out Madrid as one of his favourite cities. This statement coupled with another hint towards returning to La Liga suggests that there might be more than just rumours linking him with a switch back to Spanish football and specifically towards joining forces with Real Madrid.
While Pedro Porro is currently committed to Tottenham Hotspur and the Spanish national team, his recent comments have sparked speculation about a potential move to Real Madrid. Whether these hints will materialize into a transfer remains to be seen. However, one thing is clear - Porro's performance has not gone unnoticed by some of the biggest clubs in football.
