Pedro Porro, the 27-year-old right-back of Tottenham, is back on the radar and could be facing the Real Madrid transfer market along with Barcelona. According to Cadena SER, Barça is the Spanish international's top choice, but the white club does not rule out reactivating their interest as a response to their eternal rival's signing of Rodri Hernández.

Pedro Porro, torn between Barcelona’s preference and Real Madrid's interest

Porro's desire to return to LaLiga explains why he is considering leaving England despite extending his contract with Tottenham until 2031, with an option to extend for an additional season. The full-back believes that Tottenham's sporting situation could hinder his chances of maintaining prominence with the Spanish national team.

Barcelona has already contacted the player's entourage to explore a possible joining in January 2027 or during the summer. His football relationship with Lamine Yamal, strengthened during the 2026 World Cup, is one of the factors favoring the Blaugrana candidacy. However, there is currently no formal offer or agreement with Tottenham.

Real Madrid had previously shown interest in Porro. According to SER, the player wants to verify if Madrid's interest is still active before making a final decision. At Valdebebas, the right-back position is under scrutiny due to doubts about Trent Alexander-Arnold's performance.

The Rodri case explains the rivalry factor

The potential move takes on an additional dimension due to what happened with Rodri Hernández. On August 6, Cadena SER reported that the midfielder had turned down an offer from Real Madrid to choose Barcelona after both clubs negotiated his signing post-World Cup.

The operation left the white club without one of the players they had prioritized to strengthen the midfield. In this context, interest in Porro could be seen as an opportunity to get ahead of Barça in direct negotiation for a player favored by both teams.

However, there is no confirmation that Madrid's sports management has defined the signing as revenge. This interpretation stems from the rivalry between the clubs and the information from SER, not from an official statement from Real Madrid.

Pedro Porro's contract complicates the operation

Tottenham announced Porro's renewal on June 14, 2026, after the Spaniard played 47 matches in the previous season. Since his arrival in January 2023, the full-back had amassed 152 appearances with the English team, reflecting his importance in the squad.

This contractual bond gives Tottenham room to negotiate. The demanded amount or a buyout clause to determine the operation's cost has not been disclosed, making any transfer fee speculative.

The decision will depend on whether Barcelona turns their contacts into an offer and if Real Madrid presents a specific alternative. Pedro Porro has not ruled out the white club, but his current preference leans towards Barça; the upcoming winter market will be the first opportunity to see if his stance changes.
