With things moving quickly on Tottenham Hotspur’s pursuit for Sporting fullback Pedro Porro, we get to see A Bola coming up with the most updated story on this chase.
The outlet writes that the player already ‘prepares his bags’ to join Spurs, since the deal is about to be ‘closed and made official’.
Tottenham reportedly told Sporting they’re paying the €45m from Porro’s release clause, and the clubs now discuss some details such as payment methods.
Another request from Sporting is for Porro to play the Cup final at the weekend, as that would be his farewell game at Sporting, and these details have delayed the deal enough for him to be available in that game.
Still, ‘everything indicates’ the player will be having his last match for the Lions, with the chance of saying goodbye to the club with a trophy in hands.
Sporting always said they’d only let Porro go in case the €45m from his release clause were paid, and despite Tottenham’s attempts to find a discount, it seems Spurs really had to match that price in the end.
