Tottenham ready to sanction shock sale as three Spanish clubs circle
Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly made the difficult decision to cash in on a first-team regular in the summer, and the race for his signature is already heating up, with three La Liga clubs expressing their interest in the player along with a Premier League giant.
Pedro Porro is one of the few players in the Tottenham squad who has remained fit for most of the season.
While the right-back has struggled defensively at times, some will put that down to the fact that he has played more minutes than almost any other player in the Spurs squad.
Some sources have claimed over recent weeks that Tottenham may cash in on Porro this summer to relieve their financial pressures, and according to some outlets, Manchester City have their eye on Porro.
Three La Liga clubs affected by Tottenham’s Pedro Porro decision
Fichajes have now claimed that Spurs have opened the door to the right-back’s departure this summer, and clubs are wasting no time in exploring a move for the defender.
The outlet backs up the claim about Man City evaluating Porro and reveals that they have now been joined in the race for the Tottenham man by three Spanish sides: Atletico Madrid, Barcelona and Villarreal.
It is explained that Diego Simeone is looking at the Spain international as an option for the right-wing role, while Barcelona want him to battle Jules Kounde for the right-back slot.
The report adds that Villarreal will only consider making a move for Porro if they qualify for the Champions League.
Why do Tottenham want to sell Porro and for what fee?
Fichajes claim that Tottenham have been relatively pleased with Porro’s performances this season, but they believe that they could get a good financial return for the experienced full-back.
With the interest in the Spaniard’s signature growing, the Lilywhites are hoping to get more than £50m from the former Sporting Lisbon man’s sale.
They believe this will free up space and funds to rebuild their squad this summer and allow Djed Spence to become their first choice at right-back next season.
