Atlético de Madrid has been exploring the transfer market for two seasons to strengthen their squad with a new right-back. Nahuel Molina's level hasn't convinced the coaching staff and they know that Marcos Llorente is a patch, since his natural position is as a midfielder. Two summers ago, the red-and-white club set their eyes on a Spaniard who is now successful in England and who seems like he could join Real Madrid in January.
Pedro Porro, the Chosen One
When Pedro Porro was about to leave Sporting de Portugal, the red-and-white club positioned him as one of the favorites to reinforce the side. However, Tottenham Hotspur got ahead from everyone and signed the Spanish player, who is now one of the best in his position in the Premier League. The English team paid 45 million euros for him, a figure far from what Atlético de Madrid wanted to put on the table.
Now, Gil Marín continues his search for a full-back, despite the fact that Molina has improved his level considerably in recent weeks. However, Pedro Porro doesn't seem to be on the list of possible transfers, as his future could be in Madrid, but not at Atleti. The Spanish international is one of Florentino Pérez's favorites to arrive at the white club in January.
Pedro Porro lets himself be loved
With Carvajal's serious knee injury a month ago, Real Madrid has been forced to use Lucas Vázquez as their starting right back. However, the Spaniard is not at the level necessary to be a starter for the entire season and the white club have set their sights on the Tottenham Hotspur player. During an interview at the Spanish national team's training camp, Pedro Porro has shown his support for the Spanish club.
Porro had the following to say about the rumors to ElDesmarque : "My name and others have been mentioned, I am focused on my club and now on the national team. My friends send me the rumors, it's a compliment for me, but for the moment I am focused. I am 25 years old and I don't know what can happen, I am settled in English soccer, this is the result of good work," Porro concluded.
