Barcelona are reportedly keen to sign Tottenham Hotspur defender Pedro Porro as they look to strengthen their defence ahead of a potential transfer move.
According to reports from Spain, the Spanish international has emerged as a leading candidate for the Catalan giants, with sporting director Deco keeping a close eye on his situation in north London.
Porro is understood to be open to returning to Spanish football, potentially giving Barcelona an opportunity to pursue a deal. However, Tottenham remain in a strong negotiating position after recently extending his contract until 2031.
Barcelona keen on signing Pedro Porro
Barcelona are looking to strengthen their right-back options, and Porro could be an attractive addition to Hansi Flick’s squad.
The 27-year-old has established himself as an important player for Tottenham, combining defensive responsibilities with attacking contributions from the right flank. His technical ability, crossing and willingness to push forward could make him a good fit for Flick’s tactical approach.
Porro also brings valuable experience from his time in La Liga with Girona and Real Valladolid, while his performances in England have further enhanced his reputation.
Nevertheless, convincing Tottenham to sanction his departure will not be straightforward. The defender played in 47 matches across all competitions in the 2025/26 campaign, underscoring his importance to the Premier League side.

Tottenham could demand a significant fee for Porro
Barcelona’s financial situation could complicate their pursuit of Porro, as the club may need to offload existing defenders before committing to another major signing.
Jules Kounde’s future could be particularly important, as his departure would open up the right-back position. Alejandro Balde is another defender whose situation could influence Barcelona’s plans and their ability to generate funds.
Meanwhile, Porro is not the only option, with Sporting CP defender Ivan Fresneda also attracting attention.
Barcelona have not yet made a formal offer for the Tottenham star, so any potential transfer remains uncertain. Much will depend on their defensive departures and whether Porro decides to pursue a return to Spain.
