Pundit view: Spurs star would be daft not to consider ‘Dream’ move to Barcelona or Real Madrid

January 3, 2024

Former Tottenham full-back is reportedly being courted by Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Madrid, and Alan Hutton believes it would be unwise for him not to contemplate the allure of a transfer to either club.

According to Tottenham News, a source with connections to Spurs has indicated that both Barcelona and Real Madrid are closely monitoring Porro’s progress. The right-back has garnered attention for his standout performances under manager Ange Postecoglou, contributing six assists in the current Premier League campaign and attracting admiring glances from his homeland.

In a surprising development, Girona, currently second in LaLiga, are also said to be keeping a close watch on Porro’s situation, as reported by the same source.

Speaking to Tottenham News, former Spurs defender Hutton expressed his hope that Porro remains at Tottenham and continues to thrive under Postecoglou. However, he acknowledged the strong allure of a potential return to Spain, particularly with the country’s top clubs showing interest.

Hutton stated, “Of course it would (be tempting), I mean you’d be daft not to (consider it). It’s one of those, they’re kind of the dream teams, so if you’re playing at a level where they’re interested and looking at you, and of course it’s where you’re from, it’s something that might interest you.” Hutton also highlighted the impact of Postecoglou on Porro’s development and expressed the internal conflict that Porro might face due to the rapid progress at Tottenham juxtaposed with the allure of Barcelona and Real Madrid.

Tottenham’s recent victory over Bournemouth has brought them within touching distance of the top positions in the Premier League, showing signs of promise despite a recent setback against Brighton. As they gear up to face Burnley in the FA Cup, the team’s determination to compete at the highest level remains evident.
