Real Madrid reportedly no longer interested in Tottenham’s Pedro Porro | OneFootball

Tottenham Hotspur’s hopes of keeping one of their standout performers, Pedro Porro, have been given a significant boost after an update on Real Madrid’s transfer plans.

The Spanish right-back has been in the spotlight recently, with various reports linking him to the Spanish giants.

However, new information suggests that Real Madrid may no longer be focusing on Porro as their top transfer target for the upcoming summer window.

Pedro Porro’s rise at Tottenham has not gone unnoticed, and the 23-year-old has become an integral part of Spurs’ defence.

Real Madrid had been eyeing Porro as a potential successor to Dani Carvajal, whose age is beginning to show. Recent reports indicate that Porro is no longer at the top of the Spanish club’s wishlist.

According to The Daily Mail, Real Madrid has shifted its focus towards another highly-rated right-back, Trent Alexander-Arnold.

The La Liga giants are reportedly growing increasingly confident about signing Alexander-Arnold on a free transfer at the end of the season.

With no agreement in place for a new contract between the player and Liverpool, Real Madrid are planning for a future with the England international.

This change of focus gives Tottenham a more secure position regarding Porro's future, as it now seems less likely that the Spanish club will make a serious move for him in the summer.

The impact on Tottenham’s plans

This development is a massive relief for Tottenham. It had looked like they might face a tough battle to keep Porro, with Real Madrid eager to bring him to the Bernabeu.

With their primary target now being Alexander-Arnold, the chances of a summer pursuit of Porro have diminished.

As Real Madrid seems to be shifting focus towards other targets, Spurs will be eager to secure his long-term future in North London.

Porro’s contributions have been crucial this season, and if he remains with the club, he could play a pivotal role in their pursuit of silverware.

Here are Pedro Porro's statistics for the 2024/25 season.

But negotiating with Daniel Levy, Tottenham’s notoriously tough chairman, would not be an easy task. The Spanish club would likely have to pay a premium for the player, especially given his growing importance at Tottenham.
