Porro Admits Spanish Return is a 'Big Dream' Amid Madrid and Barcelona Interest
Pedro Porro has opened up about his future, admitting he would love to return to Spain one day amid reported interest from both Real Madrid and Barcelona.
ESPN reports that Porro has denied receiving any concrete offers from either Spanish giant this summer, though the Tottenham right-back has made clear he would like to play in LaLiga again at some point in his career (ESPN). The Evening Standard echoes this, noting that Porro "admitted" he would "love" to return to Spain eventually, despite having signed a new contract at Tottenham and enjoying a World Cup-winning summer with his country (Evening Standard).
Football365 goes further, suggesting Porro has described a move to LaLiga as a "big dream" and reporting that he finds himself weighing up interest from both Real Madrid and Barcelona (Football365). All three outlets agree on the broad picture: there is no suggestion of an imminent exit, but Porro has been open about his long-term wish to play back in his home country.
For Tottenham fans, the key detail across the reports is that Porro only recently committed his future to the club with a new deal, so this looks more like a player being honest about his ambitions than any immediate transfer threat. His form and World Cup exploits with Spain have clearly caught the eye back home, but as it stands he remains a Spurs player with talk of a return to Spain pitched as a future ambition rather than a current plan.
Elsewhere, Spurs Web carries separate comments from former Tottenham manager Tim Sherwood, who has suggested ex-Spurs midfielder Mousa Dembele was good enough to have played for Real Madrid, while also arguing the north London club have still not adequately replaced him (Spurs Web). That is a distinct story to the Porro reports and not something tied to his situation, but it is another reminder of the esteem in which Sherwood holds players who have represented Tottenham.
With Crystal Palace up next at home for Spurs, and the Women's side on the road at Birmingham, this is one for fans to keep an eye on rather than worry about in the short term - Porro remains focused on Tottenham for now, even if his long-term heart may lie back in Spain.
