Real Madrid are once again in search of a quality centre-back to strengthen their defensive line after their recent disappointment in the transfer market. The Merengue club had set their sights on the young and promising Leny Yoro, a defender who had caught the attention of several European giants. However, Manchester United got the better of him and managed to close the signing of the French talent, leaving Real Madrid without their priority target to strengthen the defence.
Given this situation, Carlo Ancelotti has given the green light for the club to explore the possibility of signing Aymeric Laporte, who currently plays for Al Nassr in the Arab league, a team where he shares a dressing room with Cristiano Ronaldo. Laporte, with extensive experience in the Premier League and in international competitions, would be a reliable option for Los Blancos. The Spanish centre-back has two more years on his contract with the Saudi team, which complicates the operation.
Real Madrid are not prepared to shell out a significant sum to pay for a transfer, especially after Laporte recently left Manchester City. The club’s idea is that the player will be able to terminate his contract, allowing a free transfer. However, although Laporte is unhappy in Saudi Arabia, he has no intention of putting pressure on Al Nassr to force his exit, as he is aware of the commitment he made when signing.
The situation puts Real Madrid at a crossroads, looking for alternatives to strengthen its defence without making financial commitments, while hoping that the player’s will and negotiations can facilitate his arrival at the Santiago Bernabéu.
