Real Madrid learn how much they will have to pay to sign World Cup winner – report

Real Madrid learn how much they will have to pay to sign World Cup winner – report Real Madrid had a summer transfer window to remember, with many of their signings slowly starting to come good under Jose Mourinho. One position that has been problematic for the Portuguese manager in these early days is right-back. Both Denzel Dumfries and Trent Alexander-Arnold have failed to make the position their own, and Mourinho has started using captain Fede Valverde at right-back for better balance. While the Uruguayan midfielder is doing a great job in his new role, Real Madrid may want to look for a long-term solution to free up their captain to play in midfield. One player Los Blancos have been linked with is Tottenham Hotspur star Pedro Porro. Tottenham determined to protect their prized defender Now, according to Diario SPORT , the north London club have placed a €70-80 million valuation on the 27-year-old defender. It is quite a steep figure for the Spanish World Cup winner and one that would make Real Madrid think twice. Pedro Porro has been linked with a future move to Real Madrid.

With no immediate pressure to sell, Tottenham can remain steadfast in their asking price and look to extract as much money as possible from a sale of Porro. The 27-year-old has already admitted that he would love to return to Spain at some point in the future, with both Barcelona and Real Madrid interested. Does Porro make sense for Real Madrid? Porro joined Spurs from Sporting CP a few seasons ago and quickly established himself as one of the best right-backs in the league. His attacking output, crossing and energy to race up and down the flank would make him an attractive proposition for any club. However, with Dumfries and Trent still in the squad, Los Blancos would struggle to justify such an expensive investment in another player.

Dumfries only arrived from Inter Milan in the summer, and it would be too early to make a decision on him. Trent, on the other hand, has had a torrid 18 months in the Spanish capital and could push for an exit next summer. If the stars align and the opportunity presents itself, Los Blancos would have good reason to make a move for Porro. However, for now, the squad’s composition makes a potential move for the 27-year-old difficult, and it remains to be seen how this saga develops.
