Liverpool may reportedly have been handed a big boost as Real Madrid are now eyeing Tottenham right-back Pedro Porro as well as Reds star Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Alexander-Arnold is nearing the end of his Liverpool contract and his situation looks a real worry for Arne Slot and other key figures at Anfield, as one imagines top clubs will be hovering to snap him up on a free transfer in the summer.

However, although Alexander-Arnold is one of the names on Real Madrid’s list, it seems they also like Spurs ace Porro after his impressive form in the Premier League, according to a report from Spanish outlet Todo Fichajes.

Liverpool fans will hope that Los Blancos end up focusing on Porro instead of Alexander-Arnold, which could then boost their own hopes of convincing their star player to stay and sign a new deal on Merseyside instead.

Pedro Porro to Real Madrid instead of Trent Alexander-Arnold?

Porro certainly looks like a tempting option for Madrid, but one imagines Alexander-Arnold’s contract situation surely means he’s the more realistic option for the Spanish giants, as Spurs won’t be under any pressure to sell a player who has a contract until 2028.

Still, the fact that Real are at least looking at other options perhaps means they won’t go all in on Alexander-Arnold, and that alone might make the player think twice about the move, as he’ll surely want to be a valued and important player wherever he goes next.
