Report: Tottenham defender very likely to join Real Madrid next summer
By Manuel Meza
Tottenham Hotspur defender is very likely to join Real Madrid next summer in 2025, according to a recent report.
Tottenham Hotspur are bracing themselves for the potential loss of Pedro Porro, with reports indicating that the defender is very likely to join Real Madrid next summer.
According to Inter Live, the Spanish giants are actively seeking a new right-back following a significant injury to Dani Carvajal, which is expected to keep him sidelined for an extended period.
Real Madrid had previously shown interest in Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold during the summer transfer window, but the England international opted to remain at Anfield.
Despite ongoing speculation linking them with Alexander-Arnold, the focus has now shifted towards Porro, who has emerged as a prime target.
Carlo Ancelotti has reportedly identified Porro as an ideal fit for the team, praising his quality and prior experience in La Liga.
With Tottenham set to face a difficult decision, the club is preparing for the likelihood of losing Porro during the January transfer window or at the very latest, the summer window.

Porro himself seems open to the idea of a move to Madrid, as he recently expressed his pride in being linked with the club. In a recent interview, he stated:
"Of course, I’m proud of these links. It means I’m doing things well. If that happens one day, it happens."
Since joining Tottenham from Sporting CP in January last year, Porro has become a crucial part of Ange Postecoglou's squad.
His ability to contribute effectively in both defensive and attacking roles has established him as one of the top full-backs in the Premier League.
Last season, he made a notable impact, recording three goals and seven assists across 35 league appearances.
The potential departure of Porro would undoubtedly be a significant blow for Spurs, but the club is reportedly already exploring replacements.
Two names that have surfaced in discussions are Denzel Dumfries from Inter Milan and Raoul Bellanova from Atalanta.
