Price tag puts Barcelona off! The Catalans can't afford Tottenham defender
Tottenham Hotspur right-back and Spain international Pedro Porro has emerged as a target for Barcelona as the Catalan club look to strengthen on the right flank.
Details: According to Spanish outlet SPORT, Barcelona’s recruitment department highly rates the 27-year-old Spaniard’s pace, attacking threat and versatility. However, Spurs’ financial demands have proved an insurmountable obstacle: Blaugrana president Joan Laporta is categorically unwilling to pay the €70–80 million requested by the London club.
Barcelona are committed to tight financial controls and consider the London club’s demands excessive. The Catalans plan to turn their attention to more realistic options in the transfer market unless Tottenham’s hierarchy makes significant concessions in the next rounds of negotiations.
It is worth noting that Pedro Porro has been at Tottenham since January 2023, following his move from Sporting CP in Lisbon. He has become one of the Premier League’s most productive full-backs and is regularly called up to the Spain squad.
