Tottenham ‘hold talks for Pedro Porro replacement’ as £20m+ development emerges
Pedro Porro has stood out at Tottenham this season, with a possible exit on the cards in the upcoming transfer window.
Real Madrid have expressed interest in Spurs’ right-back, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see other top teams vying for his signature soon.
A return to Manchester City may be on the cards for Porro, with Kyle Walker’s replacement arguably needed at the Etihad Stadium.
While Djed Spence has impressed under Ange Postecoglou this season, the North London outfit will undoubtedly need to bolster their defence if the former Sporting CP ace leaves.
Postecoglou future to determine Tottenham plan for next summer
Postecoglou’s future at Spurs is uncertain, and his situation will evidently affect their transfer plans.
The Australian manager has endured one of the worst Premier League campaigns at the North London outfit, and it’s surprising to see Daniel Levy sticking by him for so long.

While the Lilywhites have made it to the Europa League semi-finals after beating Eintracht Frankfurt, anything short of winning the competition may lead to the former Celtic boss’ dismissal.
That shouldn’t stop Levy from having a plan in place for the upcoming transfer window, and he appears to have already begun work.
Spurs have Dodo on transfer radar for next summer
Spurs fans have expressed their discontent with Levy during the current campaign, and he’ll want to change the perception surrounding him.
While the North London outfit’s chief has made some questionable recruitment decisions over the years, he must rectify them next summer.
With the Lilywhites sitting near the bottom of the table, it feels imperative that they have a massive squad revamp in the coming months.
If Porro were to leave, a replacement has already been identified, with Tottenham enquiring about Fiorentina defender Dodo, according to AS.
The news outlet reports (19 April) that the North London outfit have held talks to understand the right-back’s situation at the Serie A outfit.
It’s been claimed that negotiations over a new contract between the Italian club and the Brazilian ace have stalled, and they’ll demand over £20million to sell him next summer.
Dodo has been impressive at Fiorentina, showcasing the extent of his talent on both ends of the pitch.
The right-back is a threat in the final third but doesn’t neglect his defensive duties, making him evidently a perfect fit for Postecoglou’s style of play.
Even if the Australian manager were to lose his job, the next head coach could seemingly do with someone like Dodo at their disposal if Porro moves on to pastures new.
The entire situation will be one to keep an eye on.
