There has been a lot of noise surrounding the future of Pedro Porro, one of the very few players who continues to perform well at Tottenham Hotspur.
Naturally, Porro has been linked with a move away from the club for quite some time now, with Barcelona emerging as one of the possible suitors.
The Catalans are in the market for defensive reinforcements, and a versatile star like Porro could be an ideal addition to the team.
Porro prioritising Barcelona move
According to Diario SPORT, Barcelona have a major advantage in the race to sign Porro, as the player himself is prioritising a move to Catalonia.
The Spaniard is aware of interest from multiple clubs, but he wants to ideally move to Barcelona, which is described as a dream destination for the player.
The report further claims that Porro is destined to leave Tottenham Hotspur, as the club’s performances are simply not in tune with the level the player has shown.
A World Cup winner with Spain in the summer, Porro wants to play in European competitions next year and a move away from Spurs; therefore, is only a matter of time.
Can Barcelona sign Porro?
There is no doubt that Barcelona rate Porro quite highly and sees him as an ideal reinforcement to the defensive unit.
However, the only sticking point for the club could be the finances involved. Tottenham rate Porro at somewhere around €70 million.
Barcelona believe the player’s value is no more than €50 million. But even so, the club have other pressing needs in the defensive department at the moment, including the desperate requirement for a new centre-back.
Pau Cubarsi has lacked a reliable defensive partner for quite some time now, with Barcelona still yet to sign a left-footed centre-back.
