Tottenham Hotspur appear to be already looking for a replacement for their brilliant right-back Pedro Porro, as it is understood that Real Madrid want the Spaniard.
Should Los Blancos follow through on any initial interest, it would almost certainly curtail any move for Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold in the process.
Tottenham are expected to lose Pedro Porro
This has already been reported Porro wants to join the current Champions League winners though their agents also believe for Man United to come for him.
As a result, according to CaughtOffside sources close to the north London outfit, there is concrete interest in RB Leipzig’s Dutch right-back Lutsharel Geertruida.

Although the player only recently joined the Bundesliga outfit and is under contract until June 2029, it is understood that there is a price tag at which Leipzig may be willing to do business.
Sources believe Geertruida’s transfer fee is prohibitive at this stage, however, the player has expressed an interest in a move to the Premier League, which could reduce his fee by between €40m and €45m.

Porro, described as “amazing” by Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville, would be a huge loss for Tottenham.
It is therefore imperative that Daniel Levy and Ange Postecoglou find a replacement of the highest quality.
However, the Lilywhites will certainly face competition for Geertruida’s services.
Sources have also advanced that Liverpool, Chelsea, Borussia Dortmund, Arsenal, Aston Villa and Lyon have made their interest known.
If Leipzig reluctantly accept that the 24-year-old must move on, the Spurs hierarchy would have to convince the player that his future lies in north London.
