Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly prepared to sell Pedro Porro at the end of the season.
Clubs like Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are interested in signing the 25-year-old Spanish international, and Tottenham have an asking price of around £50 million, as per Fichajes.
He has been linked with Manchester City as well.
Tottenham make surprise decision on Pedro Porro
The decision will come as a huge surprise, given the way he has performed for the London outfit. Porro is the key player for the club, and losing him would be a major blow. Although Tottenham have Djed Spence at their disposal, the Spaniard is clearly a cut above.
There is no doubt that he is good enough to play for the biggest clubs in the world, and it is no surprise that Barcelona and Atletico Madrid want to sign him. It will be interesting to see if they can get the deal done.
Can the Spanish giants get the deal done?
Barcelona are going through financial difficulties, and paying around £50 million for the defender could prove to be difficult. On the other hand, Atletico Madrid are looking to improve their squad this summer, and the Spaniard could help them.
It remains to be seen how the situation develops. The player has three goals and nine assists to his name this season, and he has been hailed as an “outstanding” player by Ange Postecoglou.
It will be interesting to see if Tottenham can replace him adequately. They might not be competing in the UEFA Champions League next season, and replacing a player of his quality could prove to be difficult without European football. They are already expected to lose Cristian Romero, and they cannot afford to lose another key defender in the same window.
The defender is unlikely to have any shortage of suitors, and he will look to join a big club where he will be able to win trophies regularly.
