Pedro Antonio Porro Sauceda (born 13 September 1999) is a Spanish footballer who plays for Real Valladolid, on loan from English club Manchester City. Mainly a right back, he can also play as a winger.

Club career

Early career

Born in Don Benito, Badajoz, Extremadura, Porro represented CD Gimnástico de Don Benito and Rayo Vallecano[2] before joining Girona FC on 10 August 2017.[3] He reportedly rejected Real Madrid, Atlético Madrid and FC Bayern Munich to sign for the Catalans.[4]

Girona

On 28 November 2017, before even appearing with the reserves, Porro made his first team debut by coming on as a late substitute for goalscorer Johan Mojica in a 1–1 away draw against Levante UD, for the season's Copa del Rey.[5] He made his first appearance for the B-side five days later, playing the last seven minutes in a 0–0 Segunda División B draw at CD Ebro.[6]

Porro scored his first senior goals on 6 May 2018, netting a brace in a 3–0 away win against Villarreal CF B. On 2 July, he renewed his contract until 2022,[7] and featured the most of the pre-season as a right back.

Porro made his La Liga debut on 17 August 2018, starting in the right back in a 0–0 home draw against Real Valladolid.[8] The following day, he extended his contract for a further year.[9]

Porro established himself as a starter under Eusebio Sacristán, being a first-choice ahead of Aday Benítez and replacing departed Pablo Maffeo.[10] He scored his first professional goal on 31 January 2019, netting his team's only in a 1–3 cup loss at Real Madrid.[11]

Manchester City

On 8 August 2019, Porro moved to Manchester City,[12] for a rumoured fee of £11 million.[13]

Valladolid (loan)

Four days after signing with Manchester City, Porro was immediately loaned to Real Valladolid in the first division.[14]
