Pedro Porro Barcelona transfer interest, Digi Mart USA News: Spanish outlet Sport reports that Barcelona sit top of Tottenham full-back Pedro Porro’s list of preferred destinations for the coming transfer window. The 27-year-old reportedly wants to move to Catalonia, though several other clubs are also interested in his services.
According to the same report, Porro’s departure from Tottenham looks likely as the team’s results and performances have dropped below the level the player himself produces. He is described as one of the few Spurs players still delivering consistently, and he wants European football next season after winning the World Cup with Spain last summer.
Barcelona are seeking defensive reinforcements, and Porro’s versatility across the back line makes him an appealing option. However, the financial terms are the main obstacle.
Tottenham value the player at between 70 and 80 million euros, while officials at Barcelona reportedly believe his true market value is no more than 50 million euros.
The report also says centre-back is a more pressing need for Barcelona, as Pau Cubarsi still lacks a long-term partner and the club have not yet signed a left-footed central defender. That could lead the board to prioritise a centre-half over a right-back.
Any deal may also depend on whether Barcelona can sell Alejandro Balde for a suitable fee this winter.
