In an effort to negotiate with Alphonso Davies, Real Madrid has shifted its focus to another defender. The player in question is Spanish footballer Émeric Laporte from Al-Nassr.
Details: According to AS, the Madrid club intends to attempt to bring Laporte back to Europe in the near future. A transfer this winter is unlikely, but the 30-year-old defender is seen as a good option to strengthen the defense for next summer.
It is noted that the player himself is inclined to leave Saudi Arabia, but he would have to accept a significant pay cut. In the Middle East, Laporte earns €25 million per season, and Real Madrid has no intention of paying such an amount.
Reminder: Laporte previously played in Spain. He spent six years at Athletic Bilbao and the same duration at Manchester City. He has been with Al-Nassr since 2023 and has already scored seven goals there.
