Sporting are demanding a €35million fee if they are to sanction the sale of Pedro Porro, who has been linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur.
Portuguese news outlet O Jogo claim that Tottenham are prepared to make a move for the right wing-back during the January transfer window and have already begun to accelerate negotiations for the player who has a release clause of €45million (£39.4million – AS).
90min have previously reported that Tottenham are in the market for another right-sided defender despite having signed Djed Spence during the summer and already have Matt Doherty and Emerson Royal within their ranks.
Porro, a Spanish international, spent the last two seasons on loan with the Sporting before making a permanent move from Manchester City earlier this summer, having failed to make a senior appearance at the Eithad.
