“Really?” – Tottenham star surprised by Barcelona president’s admiration

Tottenham Hotspur right-back Pedro Porro expressed surprise and pride after learning that Barcelona president Joan Laporta considers him one of his favorite players. In an interview with Spanish newspaper Sport, the Spain international called the admiration flattering while reiterating his respect and commitment to Tottenham. Porro noted that interest from top clubs indicates he is performing well, though no direct proposals have materialized.

Porro also highlighted his strong on-pitch understanding with Barcelona winger Lamine Yamal while representing the Spanish national team. Although both Barcelona and Real Madrid reportedly made enquiries during the summer transfer window, Porro signed a contract renewal earlier in 2026 that ties him to Tottenham until 2031.
