In June, the Spain international signed a long-term contract at Tottenham until 2031, with an option for another year. A month later, he won the World Cup with La Roja.
Since signing an extension, the right-back has faced fitness and injury problems, and it has limited him to four Premier League starts this season.

Four days ago, the fullback expressed his surprise over Barcelona president Joan Laporta’s admiration towards him. A day later, he gave another interview, reiterating his wish to play again in Spain.
The multiple interviews in a short time have resulted in more exit links, and they aren’t going away. A ‘confidential’ report from Saturday’s edition of Sport covers fresh updates about his transfer desire.
Despite signing a renewal in June, the 27-year-old has a firm desire to leave Roberto De Zerbi’s side. The newspaper states that ‘staying at Tottenham is out of the question’, and he’s ‘determined to leave’ the north London club.

During this international break, There haven’t been discussions among the Barcelona players about his potential arrival. However, the report states the Tottenham man has hinted at his preference to move to the Camp Nou.
It’s worth noting Sport’s title says ‘Pedro Porro only wants Barca’, but that isn’t concretely backed up within the report.
