Real Madrid reactivates its interest in Aymeric Laporte

Real Madrid maintains interest in Aymeric Laporte as a strategic option to strengthen its defensive line, especially after the departures of Nacho Fernández and Rafa Marín in the last summer transfer window, as reported by Diario AS. Without a clear replacement, Carlo Ancelotti's team has started the season with a central defense depending on Antonio Rüdiger and Eder Militao, backed only by Jesús Vallejo, who lacks the coach's confidence.

During the summer, the white club considered signing Laporte, who played a prominent role in Euro 2024 with Spain. However, Real Madrid was not willing to pay a high fee and hoped to sign him at no cost, a scenario that Al-Nassr did not allow, keeping the defender in their ranks in Saudi Arabia. Now, the Madrid team plans to rekindle their interest for 2025, assessing the conditions for a possible transfer based on Laporte's contractual situation and his performance in Saudi football.

Laporte, on Real Madrid's Radar

By January, Real Madrid could explore the market for another defensive reinforcement, although the priority seems to be a left-back to complement the current squad. Nevertheless, Laporte remains a viable option, given his experience and playing style, although the financial aspect continues to be a factor that the club carefully considers.

Real Madrid believes that defensive stability is key to competing at the highest levels, and Laporte could provide a long-term solution in defense. As the next summer transfer window approaches, it is expected that the white team will intensify their monitoring of the Spaniard, keeping the possibilities open for an addition that brings solidity and leadership to the Merengue defense.
