Real Madrid have been linked with several Tottenham defenders in recent weeks, and Spurs have now set the asking price for one of them.

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly considering the sale of their talented right-back Pedro Porro, with recent reports suggesting the club have set a price tag for any potential suitors.

According to a piece from GiveMeSport, the North London side might be open to listening to offers if their valuation of the player is met.

This has caught the attention of Real Madrid, who are said to be keeping a close eye on Porro. Carlo Ancelotti's squad have been linked with the Spanish right-back as they look to strengthen their defence for the seasons ahead.

Given Porro’s previous experience in La Liga, where he had stints with Girona and Real Sociedad, he seems to be a natural fit for the Spanish giants.

The key detail emerging from these rumours is the price tag that Tottenham have reportedly set for Porro. It is understood that Spurs would only entertain offers exceeding £60 million.

Porro joined Tottenham initially on loan from Sporting CP in January 2023, with his move being made permanent later that summer.

After a brief adaptation period, he established himself as the first-choice right-back, surpassing Emerson Royal in the pecking order.

In his first full season in the Premier League, Porro impressed with his attacking contributions, scoring three goals and providing seven assists in 35 appearances. His dynamic presence on the flank has made him one of the most promising offensive right-backs in the league.

Despite his relatively short time at the club, Porro’s potential move to Madrid seems to be something he is open to.

The player himself has recently spoken about his readiness to join a club of Real Madrid’s stature, acknowledging the speculation and refusing to rule out a possible transfer in the future.

Real Madrid's pursuit of Porro could depend on the availability of another target, Trent Alexander-Arnold. The Liverpool ace is highly regarded by Madrid's hierarchy, and with questions surrounding his contract situation, the chance to snap him up on a free transfer next summer might play a key role in their decision.
