Spanish right-back Pedro Porro is not part of the London club’s plans for next season.
In fact, Tottenham are down in 16th place in the Premier League.
Tottenham have opened the door to a sale of Pedro Porro in the upcoming summer transfer window, and already three Spanish clubs are showing interest: Atlético Madrid, FC Barcelona and Villarreal. The London club’s intention is to secure a significant sum for the player, which has attracted the attention of several teams.

For Villarreal, they will only consider a transfer if they qualify for the Champions League, and then probably through a loan with an obligation to buy.
Porro’s situation at Tottenham
Pedro Porro has been a fixture in Tottenham’s starting line-up since joining the club permanently in 2023. Although he has put in good performances, Spurs believe they could achieve a good financial return on a possible sale – especially now that Manchester City, who previously owned the rights to him, are also considering a possible return to strengthen their defence.
Will Porro return to Spanish football?
With a contract that lasts until 2028, the Spanish full-back will not be sold at any price. Tottenham are aiming for a transfer fee of over £50 million. The club’s idea is to reorganize the squad and free up space, especially in a position where Djed Spence can be given a more prominent role.
Different stakeholders – different needs
In LaLiga, interest in Porro varies due to different tactical needs:
- Atlético Madrid: Diego Simeone sees him as a suitable option to strengthen the right-back position, especially if Nahuel Molina leaves the club.
- Barcelona: Looking for an offensively strong full-back who can rotate with Jules Koundé.
- Villarreal: Depends on European qualification to be able to go in for a signing.
The battle for the Spanish full-back looks set to be one of the most exciting transfer cases this summer.
