Tottenham Hotspur defender Pedro Porro has made no secret of his desire to join Real Madrid in previous international breaks since the summer, and it’s a scene that has repeated itself. Los Blancos are looking for the long-term successor to Dani Carvajal, and Porro is one of the players they are watching.
Porro has been impressing for Spurs this season, and looks as if he will be the first choice right-back for La Roja with Carvajal out for the rest of the season, and Jesus Navas retiring after the summer. Porro spoke to El Desmarque upon joining up with the Spain squad, and did not hide his ambitions.
“I am focused on my work. I’m 25 years old, at 26 I don’t know where I could be, football is like that. I am settled in English football, I have a contract until 2028. My name and others come up [in relation to Real Madrid], but I am focused on my club and now with the national team. My friends send me rumours, it’s a compliment, but I’m focused. It is the result of a job well done that one of the best clubs in the world notices me.”
The right-back said that the three things he hated most about living in England were the rain, the food and the cold, while giving a 7/10 evaluation of how keen he was to return to La Liga.
For Porro, his hopes of joining Real Madrid look likely to be dashed by Trent Alexander-Arnold, as he is seemingly Los Blancos’ top target this summer. They will look sign him on a free or on a cut-price deal in January, which is another major obstacle for Porro. Tottenham are unlikely to let Porro go without making a healthy profit on the €45m they spent on him, bearing in mind he has a contract until 2028.
