The injury to Eder Militao has once again hit Real Madrid, which, with a depleted defense, is forced to reconsider the signing of Aymeric Laporte, a possibility the club already assessed last summer. Militao's recent absence, following an unfortunate incident in the match against Osasuna, left Carlo Ancelotti's team with limited options in central defense, having only Rüdiger and Vallejo as available choices in the main squad. The situation has increased pressure on the board to find a solution that brings stability to the defense.

In the victory against Osasuna, Raul Asencio, a young talent from Real Madrid Castilla, responded with an impeccable performance after entering the field. However, as reported in Relevo, the club's sports management seems to understand that relying solely on internal solutions could be risky for the season, especially in highly demanding competitions. Hence, Laporte, currently at Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia, is back in the options to strengthen the defense in January.

An attempt was made in the summer, but Al-Nassr refused to sell him, this is Laporte's complicated situation

Laporte, with Spanish nationality and a solid track record in Europe, fits perfectly into the profile sought by Real Madrid. His ability to play the ball from the back and his experience in high-level tournaments make him a reliable choice. However, his contractual situation in Saudi Arabia could complicate the deal, as his salary is notably higher and the possibility of a mid-year loan seems like a challenging scenario. Let's remember that last summer, the Madrid side contemplated the idea of securing Laporte, but the Saudi team stood firm and did not allow their player to leave, despite his willingness to wear the Madrid jersey; Al-Nassr was asking for more than 30 million euros for him.

Another alternative that the Madrid side has considered is the young center-back Castello Lukeba, currently at Leipzig. However, his recent extension with the German club until 2029 and a significant release clause complicate his immediate acquisition. With these options on the table, the white board must act quickly if they want to strengthen their defense in the winter market, with Laporte as the priority.
