Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly keeping an eye on him Rayo Vallecano defender Andrei Ratiu as a potential replacement for their current right-back Pedro Porro.
The North London club are said to be increasingly concerned about Porro’s future and there are rumors of interest from the Spanish giants real Madrid And Manchester City.
The La Liga champions are reportedly considering the former Sporting Lisbon player as a backup option if they fail to lure him Trent Alexander Arnold from Liverpool, while City see Porro as a long-term replacement for Kyle Walker.
As the future of the 25-year-old Spaniard is uncertain, says Tottenham coach Ange Postecoglou wisely keeps his options open. Enter Andrei Ratiu, the young Romanian defender who has been turning heads with his impressive performances for Rayo Vallecano since joining the club in 2023.
According to reports from Fichajes.netRatiu has a €25 million release clause in his contract and Rayo could be willing to accept a lower transfer fee if Tottenham act quickly. Losing the talented 24-year-old would undoubtedly be a huge blow to the Madrid-based club, but could also give them the means to strengthen their squad ahead of the 2025/26 season.
