Following their interest in Cristian Romero, Real Madrid now want to sign another Tottenham player with a market value of €45 million, according to a report.
Real Madrid have reportedly set their sights on signing one of Tottenham’s key defenders, as the Spanish giants look to bolster their backline.
According to recent reports from The Mirror, Los Blancos are eyeing up a move for Spurs right-back Pedro Porro, valued at around €45 million (Transfermarkt).
Pedro Porro has quickly made a name for himself since joining Tottenham from Sporting CP in January 2023.
His consistent performances both defensively and in attack have caught the attention of several top clubs, with Real Madrid now emerging as the latest suitors for the Spanish full-back.
The interest from Real Madrid comes at a time when they are in need of reinforcements on the right side of their defence.
With Dani Carvajal currently sidelined due to a knee injury, the European champions are actively searching for a reliable replacement, and Porro’s previous experience in La Liga with Girona and Real Valladolid makes him a prime candidate.

Since his arrival in North London, Porro has proven to be a vital part of Ange Postecoglou’s setup, featuring constantly in Tottenham’s starting XI.
Last season, he racked up three goals and seven assists in 35 appearances, earning a reputation as one of the Premier League’s top-performing full-backs.
The 24-year-old’s performances have not gone unnoticed by Real Madrid, and the prospect of returning to Spain could be tempting for Porro, especially with his national team ambitions in mind.
Recently, he expressed pride over the links to the Spanish giants, hinting that a move to the Bernabeu could be on the cards if the right offer comes along.
Despite the growing interest from Madrid, Tottenham are not expected to part with their talented defender easily.
Club chairman Daniel Levy is a tough negotiator, and any potential deal for Porro is likely to come with a hefty price tag.
Meanwhile, reports suggest that Real Madrid are also keeping an eye on other options, including Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold, who could be a more affordable alternative given his current contract situation.

Alasdair Gold has hinted that Tottenham may look to sign a new midfielder next summer, despite strengthening their midfield this past transfer window.
Tottenham signed exciting young talents Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall, but were also keen on adding another experienced central midfielder.
The club had been linked with players like Conor Gallagher and Jacob Ramsey. Spurs even reportedly offered Aston Villa a swap deal involving Giovani Lo Celso to bring Ramsey to North London, but the offer was rejected. Ramsey stayed with Villa, and Gallagher ended up joining Atletico Madrid, leaving Tottenham without either of their midfield targets.
Tottenham could sign new midfielder next summer
However, according to Gold, the pursuit of a new midfielder may not be over. When asked if Spurs will look to sign a new number 6 anytime soon, he claimed that while Archie Gray is the long-term candidate for the role, the club could still bring in a new defensive midfielder next summer.
Speaking in a Q&A for Football.London, Gold said:
“In my view, Archie Gray is the long-term candidate for the role but I wouldn’t be surprised if Spurs bring in another option for the position in the meantime in the summer and one of the current incumbents moves on
Gold’s comments suggest that Tottenham may consider selling one of their current midfielders to make space for a new signing next summer. Tottenham’s current midfield options include Pape Matar Sarr, Yves Bissouma, and Rodrigo Bentancur, alongside Gray and Bergvall.
With Dejan Kulusevski playing in midfield this season and excelling in his new role, Ange currently has to choose between the three for the holding role.
Bissouma’s future was uncertain this summer, and given his off-the-pitch antics, he could be one of the candidates that the club could look to sell next summer.
One name that has been recently linked with Tottenham is Samuele Ricci. Reports suggest that former director Fabio Paratici could help facilitate a deal for the defensive midfielder to join Spurs next summer.
