Tottenham Hotspur defender Pedro Porro has been heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid in the last few weeks.
As quoted by MARCA, Pedro Porro is flattered by the links to Real Madrid. It remains to be seen whether Los Blancos can get the deal done. The reigning La Liga champions need a quality long-term replacement for Dani Carvajal, and the Tottenham mainstay would be the ideal acquisition.
The Spaniard, who joined Tottenham in a €45 million deal, is at the peak of his powers right now, and he could make an instant impact at Real Madrid. The defender has revealed that it is a matter of pride for him that one of the best clubs in the world is looking at him as a potential signing.
Regarding the rumours, Porro said, “At Tottenham, even though I’m already playing there, you are putting me in a difficult position. My name and others are mentioned, but I am focused on my club and now with the National Team. My friends send me the rumours, it is a compliment. It is the result of a job well done that one of the best clubs in the world has noticed me”.
It will be interesting to see if Real Madrid come forward with an official offer to sign the player in the coming months.
Pedro Porro would be quality addition
Porro has proven himself to be a reliable defender in the Premier League, and he is equally good going forward. He could be a key player for Real Madrid in the coming seasons if they can get the deal done. Meanwhile, Tottenham will be hoping to hold down to their best players, and it remains to be seen whether they can convince the defender to stay despite the interest from Real Madrid.
The opportunity to join one of the biggest clubs in the world and return to his homeland could prove to be a game changer and the North London club could find it difficult to keep him at the club if the interest from Real Madrid is genuine.
Real Madrid have a proven track record of winning major trophies regularly, and any player would be attracted to the idea of joining them. They could offer him the platform to compete at the highest level, and a move to Real Madrid would improve his stature as a player as well.
