Manchester City step up interest in Pedro Porro, talks begin

Manchester City are looking to sign Pedro Porro from Tottenham Hotspur during the summer transfer window.

According to a report from Fichajes, talks have already opened to sign the 26-year-old defender, and it will be interesting to see whether Tottenham is willing to sell him. He is a key player for them and one of the first names on the team sheet. Losing him would be a blow for Tottenham. There have been rumours that they could look to tie him down to a new deal.

Meanwhile, Manchester City have been using a makeshift option in the right back slot, and they are now looking to bring in a specialist right back in the summer. The 26-year-old Tottenham defender came through the ranks at Manchester City, and the opportunity to return to his boyhood club could be tempting for him.

They will be able to offer him Champions League football and the opportunity to fight for the league title. Tottenham have barely survived relegation in the last two seasons. There is no guarantee they will be able to push for trophies next year. They are going through a period of transition, and the 26-year-old Spanish international could be excited about the possibility of joining a bigger club.

Porro has also been linked with clubs like Barcelona.

Porro needs a bigger challenge now

Despite a disappointing season with Tottenham, he managed to contribute to 8 goals in all competitions. His numbers will only improve when he plays for an attacking team with top-class players. Manchester City could be the ideal fit for him.

The 26-year-old will also help Manchester City improve. He will help create more opportunities going forward, and he is a reliable defender as well.

Tottenham paid €45 million to sign the player, and they are likely to demand a substantial fee to sell him. Manchester City have the financial muscle to pay a premium, and it remains to be seen whether they follow up on their interest with an official offer in the coming weeks.

Porro is 26 and hopes to fight for major trophies regularly. This is the right time for him to join one of the biggest clubs in the world and fulfil his ambitions.
