Inter Milan has identified Tottenham’s Pedro Porro as their top target to replace Denzel Dumfries, as Tottenham reportedly place a €25 million price tag on the Spanish defender.
Inter Milan has reportedly begun laying the groundwork for major changes in their defence this summer, with Tottenham Hotspur’s Pedro Porro emerging as a primary target.
The Nerazzurri are preparing for the very real possibility of life after Denzel Dumfries, whose future at the San Siro has become a subject of speculation. While there have been ongoing discussions regarding a potential contract extension for the Dutch international, recent reports suggest that his departure is becoming increasingly likely.
With the summer window approaching, many insiders believe these coming months could be the wing-back’s final appearances in the iconic black and blue stripes of Milan.

Inter’s strategy currently involves two distinct paths depending on Dumfries’ decision. Should the Dutchman choose to recommit his future to the club, the hierarchy is expected to pursue a younger, developmental option like the highly-rated Palestra. This would allow the club to groom a long-term successor in a lower-pressure environment.
However, if a sale is finalized, the club intends to pivot immediately to an established solution in the form of Porro.

Since swapping Lisbon for North London, Pedro Porro has established himself as one of the most exciting and attack-minded defenders in the Premier League. His ability to deliver pinpoint crosses and his relentless energy down the right channel make him an ideal fit for the wing-back system frequently utilized in Italy.
The Spanish international’s evolution at Spurs has convinced the Inter scouts that he possesses the dynamic edge required to succeed in Milan.
Tottenham, however, are not known for letting key assets go cheaply. The Premier League side is reportedly under no financial pressure to sell and has set a minimum asking price of €25 million for the Spaniard. As Inter weighs up their move, they are looking at the financial implications.

While the funds from a potential Dumfries sale would likely help cover the cost, the club’s directors will need to ensure the Porro deal fits within their long-term financial structure.
Regardless of what happens financially, if Dumfries does indeed pack his bags, Pedro Porro has emerged as the concrete choice for a club looking to remain at the pinnacle of European football.
