On Wednesday, Record reported Tottenham Hotspur have offered €34m to sign Pedro Porro, but Sporting continue referring to his €45m release clause.
Today’s Record states the north London club’s interest in the right-back has not diminished and they have made a new effort to secure his services.
Former Tottenham player Marcus Edwards joined the Lions from Vitória de Guimarães a year ago and Spurs are eligible to earn 50% of the fee from his future sale. The attacker is also on the English club’s agenda, but their immediate focus is to sign Porro.
Sporting value Edwards at €60m and Tottenham’s latest offer for Porro means they are ready to let go of a €30m share for the attacker.
Record says this offer for the defender is higher than the one proposed yesterday [€34m in cash], but the situation has not changed.
The offer would include the Edwards share, a fixed payment and further bonuses.
Sporting continue to insist Porro will only leave if his €45m release clause is triggered. They want this fee to be paid only in cash and not include any player[s] as part of the deal.
Tottenham are crazy to sign Porro, but are still not able to find an agreement with Sporting.
