Pedro Porro, a 27-year-old right-back from Tottenham, is considering the possibility of returning to Spain, and the chances of seeing him as a signing for FC Barcelona are increasing as they monitor his situation for the upcoming transfer market. The Spanish international is under contract until 2031, so any deal will also depend on any defensive exits the Barcelona club may make.

The scenario has changed despite Porro's recent renewal with Tottenham. The full-back does not rule out ending his time in the Premier League, and a return to LaLiga is among the possibilities he is considering for his future.

Pedro Porro, a fitting option in Hansi Flick's plans

FC Barcelona has been monitoring Pedro Porro for some time and keeps his name among the alternatives to strengthen the right-back position. His addition would bring in a player accustomed to playing high up the field and being involved frequently in attacking phases.

His profile is well-received within the club and aligns with several qualities that Hansi Flick seeks in his full-backs. Moreover, Porro has international experience with Spain and is familiar with LaLiga from his stints at Girona and Real Valladolid before continuing his career in Portugal and England.

However, Tottenham holds a strong contractual position. The London club renewed the player in June 2026, extending a deal that previously ended in 2028. His new contract runs until 2031, giving the English club no immediate obligation to negotiate his departure.

Porro's importance in London is evident in his involvement as he played 47 matches across all competitions in the 2025/26 season, the highest figure in the squad. He has reached 152 appearances for Tottenham since his arrival from Sporting in January 2023. The decision for Barcelona lies between Pedro Porro and Iván Fresneda.

FC Barcelona needs an exit before pursuing the operation

The main constraint for FC Barcelona lies within its squad. The sports management led by Deco does not plan to make significant investments in full-backs without first creating room within the squad and financially through potential exits.

Jules Koundé is one player who could directly alter the scenario. His departure would open up the right-back position, allowing Barcelona to delve deeper into a potential deal for Pedro Porro.

Another player, Alejandro Balde, might not create the same vacancy but could provide resources to restructure the defense and bring in new signings. Any decision, however, would need to align with the requirements of Hansi Flick for the 2027/28 season.

Other options for the Barcelona right-back role

Porro is not the sole alternative being considered by Barcelona. Iván Fresneda, a 22-year-old right-back from Sporting de Portugal, is back on their radar. The Spanish international is under contract with the Portuguese club until 2028 and presents another avenue to bolster the right flank.

There is currently no formal offer from FC Barcelona to Tottenham. The next steps hinge on Barcelona's decisions regarding their current defenders and how far Pedro Porro intends to leave England despite his contract running until 2031.
