Authenticity (2.5/5): Man City monitoring Porro
Manchester City are reportedly keeping tabs on Porro's situation ahead of the upcoming transfer window.
That is according to TBR Football, who claim that Tottenham are open to selling the right-back if they receive a suitable offer this summer.
Value (3/5): Tottenham set Porro asking price
Tottenham paid around £40m to sign the Portugal international from Sporting Lisbon in the summer of 2023. With three years left on his current contract, Spurs are expected to look for a fee in excess of £50m to consider a sale at the end of the season.
Suitability (3.5/5): Attacking full-back
Porro has been part of a Tottenham side that have struggled in the Premier League this season, although he may appeal to Man City due to his ability to provide an attacking threat from the full-back position.
The 25-year-old has scored three goals and provided eight assists in 46 competitive appearances this season.
Upgrade? (3.5/5): Walker successor
Man City are searching for someone to replace the experienced Kyle Walker, who joined AC Milan on a loan deal in the winter transfer window. The Italian club are widely expected to convert the defender's loan stay into a permanent move at the end of the campaign.
Logic (4/5): Chance to join trophy contenders
While Man City have experienced an underwhelming 2024-25 season, they are still in the hunt to secure Champions League qualification. As for Tottenham, they will only qualify for the Champions League if they win the Europa League.
Potential Champions League football could entice Porro to join Man City, as well as the fact that Pep Guardiola's side can offer the Spain international the chance to join a team that can consistently challenge for this season.
Porro also has unfinished business at the Etihad Stadium after failing to make a senior appearance during his previous stint at Man City before he joined Sporting on a permanent deal.
Whisper+ verdict: 16.5/25
Porro could be a viable option to bolster Man City's defensive options, although we have our doubts over the seriousness of their interest.
