Tottenham have a long-standing interest in the possible transfer of Sporting Lisbon winger Pedro Porro, although Manchester City have a buy-back clause for the player meaning they can take “control” of the deal.
The 23-year-old has been in impressive form of late, so it’s not too surprising to see more and more transfer rumors involving the player, who would surely strengthen this Spurs side.
Still, according to Fabrizio Romano in the Daily Briefing, Man City could have the power here due to making sure they had a buy-back clause for Porro when they sold him early in his career.
Whether City actually have any plans to re-sign Porro remains to be seen, but they may also be willing to do what they can to prevent him from joining one of their rivals.
Romano says Tottenham boss Fabio Paratici has known about Porro for a long time, although there are still no direct talks to sign the Spanish international.
“The links are normal as Tottenham have sent their scouts many times to follow Porro, he is a player that Fabio Paratici has known very well for a long time,” Romano explained.

“At the moment there are still no direct talks, so it’s not easy, also because Manchester City have a buyback clause of 20 million euros and that way they can control the situation.”
Porro can play as a full-back or full-back so he could be more useful to Spurs than City at the moment, but either way this could be an interesting saga to watch in the coming weeks and months.
