Manchester City are looking at the Tottenham Hotspur defender Pedro Porro as a replacement for Kyle Walker.

The England international is in his twilight years and he will need to be replaced adequately. According to Football Insider, Manchester City believe that Porro would fit like a glove in Pep Guardiola’s system, and they are currently laying the groundwork to re-sign him.

Porro came through Manchester City Academy and it will be interesting to see if the 25-year-old decides to return to his former club. He was at Manchester City between 2019 to 2022, but he left the club without making any first-team appearances for them.

The Spanish international has now established himself as a key player for his club and country. He’s undoubtedly one of the best full-backs in the league right now, and he could prove to be the ideal acquisition for Manchester City.

Not only would he help out defensively, but he is also exceptional going forward and he could add a new dimension to their attack.

Meanwhile, the player has been linked with Real Madrid as well. It will be interesting to see if Tottenham are willing to sanction his departure in the coming months.

The defender has scored eight goals and picked up 10 assists in 63 appearances for the north London club and he is a key player for them. His departure would weaken the squad massively and Spurs need to hold onto players of his calibre if they want to fight for major trophies.

Selling him to a direct rival would be a devastating blow for Tottenham.

However, Manchester City have the financial muscle to tempt them, and it will be interesting to see how the situation develops.

The Spaniard is well-settled in the Premier League, and he could make an instant impact at Manchester City if he joins the club.
