Tottenham are reportedly ready to launch a transfer move for Rayo Vallecano defender Andrei Ratiu in January.
Spurs are rumored to be concerned about the future of current right-back Pedro Porro, amid interest from Real Madrid and Manchester City.
Los Blancos have lined up the former Sporting Lisbon defender as a possible Plan B if they fail to sign Trent Alexander-Arnold from Liverpool.
City view Porro as a long-term option to replace Kyle Walker and Spurs are preparing for summer bids.
As part of their plan to act before Porro is lost, the Premier League giants have been scouting Ratiu this season as he continues to impress in Vallecas – according to Mundo Deportivo.
However, despite their long-term interest in the Romanian international, La Liga giants Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are also in the race, alongside AS Roma.
Ratiu has a €25 million release clause in his Rayo contract, which all interested parties can activate, but his club could now demand a higher transfer fee.
