Despite penning a new long-term deal with the North London club over the summer, the 27-year-old right-back continues to be linked with a move to the Camp Nou, with club president Joan Laporta reportedly an admirer.Speaking to Spanish newspaper Sport during the international break, Porro, whose contract runs through June 2031, was made aware of Laporta's admiration. As quoted by Sport Witness, he replied: "Really?"I hadn't seen that. Well, it's flattering coming from him. It's nice that the president of another club, one that isn't mine, likes me. It probably means I'm doing things well."Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac address Wrexham executive’s abrupt exitUSMNT's Tyler Adams weighs in on Mauricio Pochettino to Manchester United links -Credit:Richard Sellers/Allstar, Getty ImagesReaffirming his commitment to Spurs, Porro stated, via football.london: "I have a contract with my club, and I'm very happy there. I also have to respect my club. Obviously, that's football; things come out, rumors come out. But I'm focused on the national team now, and then we'll see."When pushed further on Barcelona's alleged pursuit, the Spanish international added: "Yes, of course it's flattering. When the best clubs in the world are interested in you, or at least that's what you're telling me, it's always good. It probably means you're doing your job well, so you just have to keep going in the same direction."Porro was then questioned about his connection with Lamine Yamal. During the summer, the right-back and the right-winger played pivotal roles in Luis de la Fuente's squad, contributing to Spain's FIFA World Cup triumph."He's a wonderful lad, as I've always said," said Porro. "He helps you and contributes to the team. For me, it's a privilege to play with him because, in my opinion, he's the best."The Spurs defender added: "He's a player who helps you and supports you when he knows you're struggling. Obviously, his strength is attacking. I've already told him he can attack, because I'll be there to help him."To listen to the latest episode of 'All Out Soccer' - CLICK HEREBack in March, Porro acknowledged that he harbored ambitions of returning to Spain one day, yet maintained that his attention remained firmly on Tottenham. During an interview with Spanish newspaper AS, as quoted by Sport Witness, the right-back said: "Right now, I'm not thinking about returning."I'm focused on getting through this [difficult spell], on getting out of it somehow," added Porro. "When you're young, you dream about the biggest clubs."I'm at one, even though things aren't going well for us. I'd like to return to Spain someday, also for my family. I hope the door is always open."Porro had also declared himself 'very happy and very settled' at Tottenham as recently as October 2025, making it hardly a shock when he committed to a long-term deal ahead of the World Cup.
