Tottenham Hotspur defender Pedro Porro has been linked with a move away from the North London club and Manchester City are reportedly on him.
The 24-year-old right-back has been a key player for Tottenham and his performances have attracted the attention of the defending champions. However, former Tottenham goalkeeper Paul Robinson believes that the North London club will do everything in their power to keep him at the club.
“[I] Wouldn’t like to see it from a Tottenham point of view,” Robinson told Football Insider.
“He’s certainly one that is on the radar for Manchester City.
“From Tottenham’s point of view, they are fighting tooth and nail to keep him.
“If they want to be competing in those Champions League places, you need players like that and you certainly don’t need to be selling, I’m going to say, to ‘rivals’.
“Now Tottenham aren’t really title contenders are they? So they’re not really a direct rival, but actually a player like Poro would fit into that Manchester City team.
“When he plays in that hybrid role, he’s a player who often finds himself isolated up the pitch, high up the pitch, but his quality lies in the final third with his delivery, with his visions, with his passes.
“And he’s got great delivery as well and he’s not afraid to shoot.
“He’s definitely a player that you could see working in that Pep Guardiola system, as much as that pains me to say it.”
Real Madrid are keen on the Spanish international as well, and it will be interesting to see if can get a deal across the line. They are hoping to bring in a quality long-term replacement for Dani Carvajal. As for Manchester City, they are looking for a quality replacement for Kyle Walker. Both players are in the twilight stages of their careers and they will need to be replaced adequately.
The Spanish defender could be attracted to the idea of joining clubs like Real Madrid or Manchester City. They will be able to provide him with the platform to push for major trophies in the coming seasons.
Tottenham must keep their best players
Tottenham will be hoping to compete in the UEFA Champions League regularly and they will look to win a trophy as well. They must hold onto their best players in order for that to happen.
The defender has a contract with Tottenham until 2028, and he is unlikely to be a cheap acquisition. Any club hoping to sign him will have to pay well over the odds.
Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy has a reputation for being a difficult negotiator and the likes of Manchester City and Real Madrid will struggle to reach an agreement with the English club. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops.
