Real Madrid considered making a move for Tottenham star Pedro Porro earlier this summer, according to reports in Spain. The La Liga giants were in the market for a replacement for Dani Carvajal and Porro was one of the names discussed by the club's hierarchy.
Porro has been in impressive form for Spain at the World Cup, scoring two goals and becoming the second Spanish defender to achieve this feat in the same edition of the tournament after Fernando Hierro.
The 26-year-old's performances have not gone unnoticed, with Real Madrid having been admirers of the full-back for some time. According to Diario AS, Florentino Pérez and his team gave serious consideration to a move for Porro before ultimately opting for the cheaper option of Denzel Dumfries.
Porro's form at the World Cup will have only strengthened his reputation as one of the top full-backs in the world. His ability to contribute in both defence and attack has made him a valuable asset for both club and country.
Despite missing out on Porro this summer, Real Madrid are unlikely to forget about the Tottenham star. The club's hierarchy are known to be forward thinkers, and it is likely that Porro's name will be discussed again in future transfer markets.
The interest from Real Madrid is a testament to Porro's rapid rise to prominence. The former Sporting CP full-back has established himself as one of the top players in the Premier League and his performances at the World Cup have only added to his growing reputation.
Porro's future at Tottenham remains uncertain, with the club facing a fight to keep hold of their star player. The interest from Real Madrid will only add to the speculation surrounding Porro's future, and it remains to be seen whether he will remain at Tottenham beyond the summer.
For now, Porro's focus will remain on the World Cup, where he will be hoping to continue his impressive form and help Spain progress to the latter stages of the tournament.
