News has been conflicting about what Real Madrid’s management will do in the summer transfer window after failing to sign Lenny Yoro and with Lille defender moving to Manchester United.
The first reports from the “Relevo” network indicated that Real Madrid does not have an alternative plan to Yoro and does not intend to sign another defender in the current transfer window.
However, another report from the newspaper “El Mundo” revealed that the Merengues have put the name of Al Nassr star Aymeric Laporte as the first choice to support the center-back position.
This is not the first time Laporte has been linked with Real Madrid, as the 30-year-old has been a target for Los Blancos over the past few years, both before and after joining Manchester City.
The Spanish international is under contract until the summer of 2026 with Al Nassr, and Real Madrid will have to negotiate with the “Najd Knight” who signed him last year for 27.5 million euros and will not accept selling him for less than this value.
It is worth noting that Atletico Madrid also has an interest in signing Laporte, and the player’s position on leaving the Saudi league remains unknown at this time.
