Tottenham Hotspur set for fresh talks with Sporting Lisbon for £40m target

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly set for fresh talks with Sporting Lisbon this week over a deal for Pedro Porro. 

Spurs are looking for a new right wing-back this month and have identified the 23-year-old as a perfect option. 

However, as per A Bola, the North London outfit are way off from agreeing a deal with Sporting who want his £40 million release clause paid. 

The Spain international has been a key member for the Lions since his move to Lisbon in 2020. 

He initially joined on a two year loan deal but Sporting triggered his buyout clause of £7.2m in 2022 to sign him permanently. 

So far, the former Manchester City star has made 95 senior appearances at Estadio Jose Alvalade, with 11 goals and 19 assists to his name. 

Disappointing transfer window so far

Tottenham haven’t been very convincing with their performances this season. They have lost six of their 19 Premier League matches so far, and are currently sitting outside the top-four. 

Antonio Conte’s side look in need of reinforcements but so far, they have failed to add a single player in the January transfer window. 

The North London side have been heavily linked with a move for Pedro Porro but they are reluctant to meet Sporting’s demands for the right back. 

Chelsea have also been credited with an interest in the Spaniard. If Spurs fail to agree a deal soon, they could end up losing Porro to the Blues. 

Graham Potter’s side have already splashed £88m to sign Mykhailo Mudryk but they are keen to add the 23-year-old too.
