Sporting firm on the Porro deal: Tottenham’s 40,000,000 euros is not enough, City could spoil everything

The relatively boring transfer window could become a bit more interesting in the final week. You could read these days about the absurdity of the winter market and that the gap between the Premier League and the rest of the world is widening, and it could be even wider if Tottenham manage to break Sporting Lisbon for Pedro Porro.For practically the whole of January, clubs have been fighting over the Spanish right-back, who attracted a lot of attention from clubs after good performances in Lisbon. Just six months ago, Porro was officially bought from Manchester City for 8,500,000 euros after a two-year loan. An explosion at the Jose Alvalade Stadium, capped with 11 assists and three goals in 24 games, has put him in a position to return to the Premier League, or rather to finally play on the Island, having not seen a Manchester City shirt since being bought from Girona’s affiliate for 12,000,000 euros in the summer of 2019.##NAJAVA_MECA_6971646##As it is announced, Tottenham executives will hold a possibly crucial meeting with Sporting today in order to finally agree on the price. The Spurs have prepared a new offer amounting to 37,000,000 euros, with another three million in bonuses, while the Lisbon club does not give up on asking the buyout clause in the amount of 45,000,000 euros.

Spence and Doherty look to the back of Emerson, who collected a goal and an assist each.However, Manchester City could spoil it all for Tottenham. When the Spaniard was moving to Sporting, an agreement was made according to which the English champion could bring Porro back for almost 20,000,000 euros this winter, while for the transfer next summer the price would be around 25,000,000 European banknotes. With Tottenham keen on Porro now, Spanish paper AS claims man City are seriously considering activating the clause and bringing him back to the Etihad.Understand Tottenham and Sporting will hold new round of talks for Pedro Porro today. 🚨⚪️ #THFCTottenham are offering €37m fixed fee plus add-ons, discussing about one player to be included as part of the deal. pic.twitter.com/3auRVV6I74— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) January 24, 2023 Joao Cancelo has spent most of the season on the left side, while Kyle Walker is struggling with a groin injury, which could even give Porro a chance. City did not give him a chance in the first term, since he was on loan practically the entire time. First in Valladolid, then Sporting, before he was bought out.Now it remains to be seen which Premier League member Porro will join…
