FC Barcelona significantly strengthened their team during the last summer transfer window, bringing in seven new players to provide Hansi Flick with a team that would help him conquer the only remaining title with the Blaugrana side, namely, the UEFA Champions League.
One of these signings was that of Joao Cancelo, who spent the second half of the last season on loan at Barcelona, and signed permanently for them this summer. However, only a few weeks after the end of the transfer window, the Catalans are once again being linked with another fullback.
[This fullback is the Spanish international Pedro Porro](https://barcanewsnetwork.com/barcelona-line-up-2026-world-cup-winner-as-defensive-replacement/), who currently plays for the Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur. Keeping in view the quality and the stature of the player, Spurs would not be looking to lose him easily. However, they have still not completely ruled out his transfer.
In this regard, [Mundo Deportivo](https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/fc-barcelona/20261015/1004239117/cantidad-pide-tottenham-pedro-porro.html) cites TeamTalk to claim that the London club has set a price tag of €88.6 million on the fullback. If sold for this amount, Porro would become the most expensive fullback in the history of European football.
The report goes on to highlight that Barcelona have already started talks with Tottenham for his signing. However, they are going to face significant competition in this operation, as their bitter rivals, Real Madrid, have also started negotiations with the Premier League side.
After helping Spain win the 2026 World Cup, there are very little doubts left about the quality of Pedro Porro. His signing for Barcelona would be understandable, keeping in view the loss of prominence Jules Kounde has suffered lately and Eric Garcia, who is now the starter on the right flank, not being a natural fullback. But for now, it remains to be seen whether they will be able to negotiate an affordable price with Tottenham and beat Real Madrid for his signing.
