Former Sporting fan favourite could join Mourinho at Real Madrid | OneFootball

is back on the radar of a European giant and could reunite with José Mourinho at Real Madrid. The Spanish right-back, who shone for Sporting before moving to Tottenham, is one of the names being considered to strengthen the merengues’ defence next season, at a time when Dani Carvajal is on his way out of the Spanish club.

According to the newspaper 'Sport', José Mourinho is already preparing Real Madrid’s squad for 2026/27, despite not yet having been officially announced as Álvaro Arbeloa’s successor. The coach considers strengthening the right-back position a priority, and Pedro Porro has emerged as a highly rated solution because of his attacking ability and the experience he has built up in recent years.

The same publication reports that Diogo Dalot is also on the Portuguese coach’s list of options, being seen as a more defensive alternative for the right side of that position. Even so, the former Sporting player - who is keeping an eye on Hjulmand’s situation - continues to have many admirers in Madrid, especially because of the progress he has shown since leaving Alvalade.

Meanwhile, the newspaper 'As' adds that Tottenham’s delicate situation could make a possible transfer easier. With Spurs going through a difficult season and facing the possibility of relegation, Pedro Porro could end up leaving for a lower fee than the London club initially expected.

The Spanish international, it should be remembered, made his mark at Sporting during the two seasons he represented the Lions, being a key player under Ruben Amorim. Since then, he has established himself in the Premier League and continues to attract interest from Europe’s biggest clubs, and could now make the move to the Santiago Bernabéu under José Mourinho.
