Pep Guardiola in on record being annoyed by Tottenham target Pedro Porro, after he aimed at a dig at the Manchester City boss in 2022.
AS have reported that Spurs aim to launch a £26.2 million bid to sign the attacking right wing-back, who was at City from 2019 to 2022.
O Jogo had also claimed that Tottenham had contacted the Premier League champions, as they had question marks regarding his physical capabilities.
However, the Spaniard has been described as “different class” by Jermaine Jenas during commentary for BT Sport.
Clearly, Antonio Conte’s side seem desperate to sign Pedro Porro, who has made waves for his sparkling showings for Sporting CP.
Tottenham undoubtedly need a player like Porro, with Emerson Royal enduring yet another shambolic season.
With Conte seemingly not fancying Djed Spence and Matt Doherty yet to justify the positivity around his arrival, the North Londoners are severely lacking at right wing-back.
Especially considering wing-backs in general have been integral to the Tottenham manager’s systems at previous clubs.
However, Guardiola does not seem to be a biggest fan of Porro or his spikey responses.
Guardiola was annoyed by Tottenham target Porro in 2022
Tottenham target Pedro Porro had publicly fired shots at Pep Guardiola, saying, “No, I never spoke to Pep Guardiola.”
“I don’t think he even knew they signed me. But they must be aware of how I’m performing”, as relayed by BeSoccer.
However, Pep Guardiola was annoyed by Pedro Porro’s rationale, responding, “I know about it perfectly well, but we have 250 transfers and I can’t speak to them all.”
“I am happy that he is doing well and of course, I know about him. I watched a lot of games and sometimes he played, sometimes he didn’t.”
While Pep Guardiola was annoyed by Pedro Porro, we’re sure Antonio Conte will not be as he just the player Tottenham require.
