Tottenham is reportedly set to demand £80 million for Pedro Porro, a target for Manchester City as Pep Guardiola looks to find a successor for Kyle Walker. According to Football Insider, the right-back’s consistent form since joining Spurs in January 2023 has made him an attractive option for City, who are considering re-signing the Spanish full-back as a long-term replacement for Walker.
Walker, who will turn 35 ahead of the 2025-26 season, remains a key player for City, showing no signs of decline. However, the club is already planning for the future by seeking a solid competitor in his position. While Rico Lewis has emerged as a talented and versatile full-back from City’s academy, Guardiola recognizes that relying solely on the youngster throughout a full season may not be ideal, necessitating the addition of an experienced player.
Guardiola is reportedly keen on bringing back Pedro Porro, who was previously on City’s books but left for Sporting CP in 2022 without making a senior appearance. Since joining Tottenham, Porro has become a crucial figure under manager Ange Postecoglou, making him a key player in the Spurs squad.
Tottenham values Porro highly and may even offer him a new contract, but they are unlikely to part with him easily. Known for his tough negotiating, Daniel Levy will reportedly set the price at £80 million for the 25-year-old.
Manchester City, with their strong financial position, may be willing to meet Tottenham’s demands, but they could also explore other options. Real Madrid has also shown interest in Porro, though they are unlikely to pay the £80 million price tag. Ultimately, if City pursues Porro, lengthy negotiations with Levy will be required, as Spurs I vested significantly in signing him just last year.
