Real Madrid are considering a bid for Tottenham Hotspur defender Pedro Porro because head coach Xabi Alonso believes that Trent Alexander-Arnold needs competition, according to a wild report, which TEAMtalk does not think should be taken seriously.
Alexander-Arnold joined Madrid at the end of last season after leaving Liverpool. The England international right-back was expected to be a massive hit at Estadio Bernabeu, but he has had injury problems and has had to fight for his place in the starting line-up with Dani Carvajal when fit and available.
While Carvajal has not played since undergoing a knee operation, Alexander-Arnold has a hamstring injury, although both right-backs have returned to training.
Injuries to key players, especially in defence, have been a huge problem for Madrid manager Xabi Alonso, and a wild claim has emerged that Los Blancos are planning to raid Tottenham to sort their right-back issues.
According to Madrid Universal on X, ‘Real Madrid are weighing’ Tottenham right-back Porro.
The report has claimed that Los Blancos ‘believe that Alexander-Arnold needs competition, and they want a Spaniard as reinforcement.’
Alexander-Arnold has made five starts in LaLiga and two starts in the Champions League for Madrid so far this season.
Porro cost Tottenham €45million (£39.2m, $53m) in transfer fees when he joined the north London club from Sporting CP in 2023.
