Porro calls Barcelona interest 'a compliment' but says he is happy at Tottenham

Tottenham Hotspur defender Pedro Porro has described reported interest from Barcelona as "a compliment," according to Get Spanish Football News. The 27-year-old right-back has been linked in the media with Hansi Flick's side for several weeks as Barcelona search for right-back reinforcements, with Deco's transfer team reportedly identifying him as a leading target.

Porro said: "It's always a compliment when one of the best clubs in the world is interested in you. I'm very happy at my club and have a contract to respect. Rumours are part of football, but right now I'm focused on the national team. We'll see what happens afterwards."

The report noted Porro's partnership with Barcelona's Lamine Yamal at the World Cup, suggesting club officials would like to see the pair reunited at club level. No offer or agreement was reported.
