Tottenham Hotspur defender Pedro Porro has been linked with a move away from the club in recent months.
The 25-year-old right-back is reportedly a target for Real Madrid who are looking to bring in a quality long-term replacement for Dani Carvajal. According to Caught Offside, Tottenham Hotspur are now looking at potential alternatives to the Spanish international and they have identified the RB Leipzig defender Lutsharel Geertruida as a potential target. He has been a long-term target for the Londoners.
The Dutch international defender is valued at around €40-45 million, and it will be interesting to see if Tottenham decide to sign him. Ideally, they will want to hold onto Porro for as long as possible. He has been an indispensable asset for them since joining the club from Sporting CP.
The Spaniard has established himself as one of the most reliable right-backs in the country, and his departure would be a major blow for Tottenham. The North London club will be hoping to fight for major trophies, and they need to hold onto their best players. Keeping Porro at the club should be one of their priorities.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid are keeping tabs on Trent Alexander-Arnold from Liverpool as well. It will be interesting to see who they decide to move for in the end. Spurs will certainly hope that Real Madrid move onto other targets so that they can keep Porro at the club during his peak years.
Geertruida would be an interesting acquisition for Tottenham. He has shown his quality in the Netherlands and in Germany. He has the ability to succeed in English football as well. The opportunity to move to Tottenham could be an exciting one for the player. It would be a major step up in his career and he would get to test himself against world-class attackers in the Premier League.
