Barcelona president Joan Laporta is reportedly interested in signing Tottenham's Pedro Porro, a player they have been linked with previously. Porro is believed to be keen on returning to La Liga. Laporta was impressed by Porro's performances at the World Cup 2026. The club's director Deco is also a fan of the defender.

Barcelona made tentative enquiries about Porro last summer but were deterred by Tottenham's valuation of at least 60 million euros. The high price tag makes a January move unlikely. Barcelona are currently looking for a central defender in the winter window, waiting for a "market opportunity".

Any potential approach for Porro is expected to be delayed until next summer due to Tottenham's asking price. Barcelona's current defensive strengthening efforts are focused on a central defender. The club is monitoring the market for an opportunity to make a signing.
