Pedro Porro is reportedly set to reject interest from Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City in favour of a possible return to Spain, where Barcelona and Real Madrid are interested in him.
Interest from Spain
TEAMtalkunderstands that Porro's preference is to return to Spain. Sources close to the situation report that Porro's camp are focused on interest from Spain.
Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City are said to have asked about Porro after becoming aware that he could be available for the right price. TEAMtalkunderstands that Barcelona and Real Madrid have made clear their admiration for Porro.
Contract and valuation
Porro remains under contract at Tottenham until 2031. Tottenham are understood to recognise the appeal of Porro moving back to Spain.
TEAMtalkunderstands that Tottenham have a world-record valuation in mind for a full-back, and any interested club would need to surpass the £57million Paris Saint-Germain paid Inter Milan for Achraf Hakimi in 2021.
Barcelona considers a January move
TEAMtalkunderstands that a January move for Porro has not been ruled out, with Barcelona understood to be the club most actively considering an approach.
Barcelona would need to raise funds before committing to a deal for Porro and need to cash in on at least one player to make such a move possible. Barcelona have opened talks with Liverpool over a permanent move for Ronald Araujo, and are open to Alejandro Balde leaving the club.
Real Madrid's timing
Real Madrid are also keen on Porro, but their thinking is understood to be geared more towards a potential summer move. Real are assessing their options should they decide to make changes in that position.
Porro signed a new five-year deal during the summer.
