Tottenham would reportedly demand a large fee from Barça for Pedro Porro, whose name has emerged among the options being considered to strengthen the Catalan club’s defence. The London side is said to have set a price for its player, although the amount has not been specified here.
Clubs continue to plan their squads and advance transfer business outside official transfer windows, even while the market is closed and competitions are under way. The Porro situation is part of that planning: Barça are reported to be tracking the defender, while Tottenham is said to have established its terms for a possible departure.
Barça and Real Madrid have reportedly already held talks with Tottenham about a potential signing. The player was crowned world champion last summer with his national team. Those discussions concern a possible transfer; no agreement has been announced.
