Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly keeping tabs on the Romanian defender Andrei Ratiu.

According to a report from Mundo Deportivo via Sport Witness, the 26-year-old right-back is on the radar of Tottenham Hotspur and they will face competition from Barcelona.

The defender has impressed with Rayo Vallecano as well, and it will be interesting to see if Tottenham can get the deal across the line. Clubs like Roma, Napoli and Bayer Leverkusen are keeping tabs on his situation as well.

The Romanian international could prove to be a quality acquisition for Spurs. Pedro Porro has been linked with a move away from the club, and it seems that the 26-year-old could be an alternative for the Spanish international. Real Madrid are keen on signing Porro and Ratiu could be the replacement for him.

It will be interesting to see if Tottenham can convince the player to join them. Barcelona are reportedly confident of getting the deal done. The Romanian international defender is represented by LeaderBrock Sports, who also manage the Barcelona midfielder Pedri. The Spanish club already have connections with the agency and they believe that they could get the deal done. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops.

Porro has been a key player for Tottenham since joining the club and they will have to replace him adequately if he moves on. Ideally, Tottenham will hope to hold onto the Spanish international for as long as possible. He is one of the best right-backs in the league right now and replacing him will be difficult.

With that said, the 26-year-old Romanian would be a quality addition as well. He has shown his quality in Spanish football and he has the attributes to succeed in England as well. The defender has a €25 million release clause, but he could be available for less than that.
