Tottenham rebuffs Manchester City inquiries for Pedro Porro

Tottenham Hotspur has rejected Manchester City's initial inquiries regarding full-back Pedro Porro. Manager Roberto De Zerbi considers Porro crucial for the team's setup following their narrow escape from relegation. Tottenham's board has indicated that any discussions would start at a baseline fee of £50 million. Manchester City, aiming to strengthen their defense, may shift focus to other targets, such as younger right-backs like Marco Palestra. Additionally, City is exploring other recruitment avenues, having seen a £121 million offer for Nottingham Forest's Elliot Anderson turned down.
