Transfer rumors, news: Real Madrid eyeing Tottenham's Porro

Posted Thursday, October 31, 2024 by ESPN

Real Madrid are linked with a possible move for Tottenham's Pedro Porro.

- Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold is still Real Madrid's priority for the right-back position and Los Blancos have made their first attempts to sign the 26-year-old, reports AS. Even so, they add that Tottenham Hotspur's Pedro Porro is seen as a viable alternative, even if bringing in the 25-year-old with his contract running until 2028 would be difficult.

- Manchester United have put Antony on the transfer list after the sacking of Erik ten Hag, says TalkSPORT. The Brazil winger cost United €95m when he arrived from Ajax in 2022 but has not adjusted to life in the Premier League -- scoring 11 goals in 83 games -- and the club are now ready to move him on. Turkish club Fenerbahce are reported to be interested, alongside former club Ajax and Brazilian side Flamengo. But United are clear they won't be able to get much of their initial outlay back.

- There was outrage from Real Madrid that Rodri won the Ballon d'Or ahead of Vinicius Junior on Monday, but AS now says that Los Blancos could look to sign the Manchester City midfielder. Madrid reportedly feel that their midfield is faltering despite being heavily invested in, while Rodri has been a key figure for both City and the Spain national team. Born just 39 kilometres from the Bernabeu, Rodri has a deal at City until 2027 and the Spanish outlet reports that the 28-year-old has been offered a contract renewal that would put him alongside Phil Foden and Erling Haaland as one of the club's biggest earners.

- In addition to referencing Antony's potential departure from Manchester United, TEAMtalk have also suggested that Christian Eriksen, Victor Lindelof and Casemiro could also be offloaded by possible new manager Ruben Amorim. Eriksen and Lindelof are likely to leave as free agents in the summer while the Red Devils would accept £25m for the Brazilians.

- After Vinicius Junior didn't win the Ballon d'Or, Saudi Pro League clubs reiterated its intent to sign the Brazilian to its entourage and stated that its big offer from the summer still stands, reports Sport. Both Real Madrid and the 24-year-old know that economics won't be an issue, but it all depends on whether or not he is willing to move.
