Pedro Porro looks on

Tottenham defender Pedro Porro insists he is 'very happy' at the club despite 'flattering' interest from Barcelona president Joan Laporta.

According to the Barca Reservat podcast, Porro's displays for Spain at the World Cup won an admirer in Laporta and also Barca sporting director Deco.

When Laporta's appreciation was put to Porro, he was taken aback.

"Really?" Porro said, per Spanish newspaper Sport.

"I hadn't seen that. Well, it's flattering coming from him.

“It’s nice that the president of another club, one that isn’t mine, likes me. It probably means I’m doing things well.”

However, the right-back was quick to put an end to any speculation about an imminent move away from north London.

What has Pedro Porro said about his future?

“I have a contract with my club and I’m very happy there," Porro said.

"I also have to respect my club.

"Obviously, that’s football, things come out, rumours come out. But I’m focused on the national team now, and then we’ll see.”

Another factor complicating a move away from Spurs is that Porro signed a contract extension in June which takes him through to 2031.

Porro joined Spurs on loan from Sporting in January 2023 before the move became permanent in the summer.

He's gone on to make over 150 appearances for the club and played a key role in Spurs winning the Europa League in 2025.

However, Porro has endured a disrupted start to the season due to muscle and hamstring injuries.

In Porro's absence, Archie Gray has been called on to fill in at right-back.

Both players were named in Spurs' starting line-up in the 1-0 loss to Leeds on Saturday, with Porro in his favoured position and Gray slotting into central midfield.

The contest marked Porro's first start since the 3-2 loss to Aston Villa in September, when he was forced off with an injury just 19 minutes into the contest.

Porro will look to build a run of games in the international break with Spain.

The world champions travel to Czechia on Thursday before hosting England on November 15.
