The key facts

  • Real have joined the race for Pedro Porro, whom Barcelona have been pursuing for several months
  • Tottenham are demanding more than 60 million euros; the player's contract runs until 2031 with an option for another season
  • The outlet cites the unstable performances of Alexander-Arnold and Dumfries as the reason for Real's interest

Competition for Porro

Real Madrid want to sign Tottenham defender Pedro Porro, whom Barcelona have also been working on for several months. This is reported by Fichajes, which Daryo.uz cites. According to the source, Barcelona president Joan Laporta and sporting director Deco plan to strengthen the team's right flank, and Laporta is ready to spend a large sum on the transfer.

Real's motives and past rivalry

The outlet explains Madrid's interest by dissatisfaction with the performances of Trent Alexander-Arnold and Denzel Dumfries: due to defensive problems, head coach Jose Mourinho has had to move midfielder Fede Valverde into the defensive line. Fichajes also recalls that last summer Real already disrupted Deco's transfer plans by signing Bernardo Silva, Marc Cucurella and Denzel Dumfries.

Tottenham's position

The London club are demanding more than 60 million euros for the 27-year-old Spaniard. On June 14, 2026, Porro extended his contract until 2031 with an option for one more season, which gives Tottenham an advantage in negotiations. Head coach Roberto De Zerbi considers him one of the key players: in the 2025/26 season Porro played 47 matches — more than anyone else in the team. In 2026, the defender won the World Cup with the Spain national team, which beat Argentina 1:0 in the final.
