Aymeric Laporte is emerging as one of the most coveted defenders in the upcoming summer transfer market. The Spanish-French center-back is determined to leave behind his time in Saudi football, and several clubs across the old continent have already started to make moves. Real Madrid, Athletic Club, and Olympique de Marseille appear as the main contenders to sign the defender, who aims to return to the elite level of European football.
Laporte’s spell at Al Nassr has not met expectations. Despite the financial offer that took him to Saudi Arabia, the sporting environment has not lived up to his expectations. His influence has declined, and his relationship with the team’s coach has noticeably deteriorated. Although he is still under contract, the player is already working to disengage, prioritizing a competitive project that will keep him in the orbit of the Spanish national team.
Aymeric Laporte wants to return to Europe
Real Madrid is closely monitoring the situation, seeking reliable options to strengthen their defense after a season plagued by injuries. Meanwhile, in Bilbao, they still dream of the return of one of their idols, although the operation is not financially straightforward. Marseille, on its part, emerges as a serious and ambitious contender, willing to offer him a significant role within their structure.
The instability at Al Nassr and the team’s modest sporting results have accelerated the process. Laporte yearns to compete at the highest level and knows that his place is in Europe. With Euro 2024 and the 2026 World Cup on the horizon, the defender seeks a destination where he can reclaim his top form and be a protagonist.
