Tottenham receive great transfer news amid Real Madrid rumours
Tottenham Hotspur supporters can rest easy with the recent news regarding one of their key defenders amid the swirling rumours about a potential move to Real Madrid.
Despite earlier reports suggesting that Pedro Porro was a prime target for Real Madrid, it now seems that the Spanish giants have their eyes set on someone else.
It all started when CaughtOffside reported that Real Madrid were considering Porro as a potential successor to Dani Carvajal.
The speculation gained traction, particularly after Porro himself hinted at being flattered by the interest.
During the recent international break, the 24-year-old openly expressed his pride at being linked with a move to the Santiago Bernabeu, which naturally sparked concern among the Spurs faithful.

However, according to a recent report by The Athletic, Real Madrid's focus is actually on Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold as their top choice to replace Carvajal.
The England international is at the top of Madrid's wishlist, and with his contract at Anfield set to enter its final six months come January, he will be free to negotiate with other clubs.
This puts Alexander-Arnold in a prime position to make a move to the Spanish capital if the conditions align.
The Athletic explains that Real Madrid will only consider alternatives like Porro, Jeremie Frimpong, or Juanlu if their pursuit of Alexander-Arnold does not come to fruition.
This revelation should ease the concerns of Tottenham supporters, who were worried about losing one of their key defensive assets.
Meanwhile, Tottenham are not taking any chances when it comes to securing Porro's future. Reports from TBR Football suggest that Spurs are well aware of Madrid’s growing interest in their right-back and are already laying the groundwork to offer him a new long-term deal.
Although Porro's current contract ties him to the club until 2028, Tottenham appear keen to extend his stay even further, ensuring he remains a cornerstone of their defence for years to come.
Pedro Porro's performances have been a significant factor in Tottenham's good games this season, and losing him would undoubtedly be a blow to their ambitions.
His versatility and attacking prowess have made him a vital part of Ange Postecoglou's system, and securing his long-term commitment would be a huge win for the club.
