Real Madrid remain keen on signing the Tottenham Hotspur defender Pedro Porro.
The 25-year-old right-back has done quite well since his move to Tottenham from Sporting CP and he has established himself as one of the best full-backs in the league. His performances have attracted the attention of Real Madrid and they are hoping to sign him as a long-term replacement for Dani Carvajal.
However, a report from Spanish publication AS via Sport Witness claims that Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy has set a €70 million price tag and it will be difficult for Los Blancos to get the deal done. They are keen on signing the Spanish international, but they are unwilling to pay the asking price for him.
Levy has a reputation for being a difficult person to negotiate with, and it is unlikely that he will lower the asking price. Porro is a key player for the club, and Tottenham will only let him leave on their terms.
The £85,000 a week Spaniard is aware of the interest from Real Madrid and the report from AS claims that the admiration is mutual. It will be interesting to see if he decides to push for an exit in the coming months. The opportunity to play for Real Madrid and return to his homeland could be quite tempting.
Furthermore, they are widely regarded as the biggest club in the world and they have a proven track record when it comes to pushing for league titles and Champions League trophies regularly. Porro will be able to fulfil his potential and ambitions with them.
It will be interesting to see how the situation unfolds. Tottenham need to hold onto their best players if they want to win trophies and keeping the defender at the club for the long term would be ideal.
