Real Madrid could take advantage of their visit to Saudi Arabia for the Spanish Super Cup to strengthen their defense. According to the latest rumors, Florentino Pérez is considering rekindling interest in Aymeric Laporte, the Al-Nassr center-back, whose signing was already linked to the white club weeks ago.
Laporte, a 29-year-old Spanish international, is an option that the Real Madrid sports management likes, especially after Éder Militão's departure due to injury, which has left the squad with fewer alternatives in the center of defense. Al-Nassr, aware of the interest from the Madrid club, would be willing to negotiate his transfer in the winter market for a figure close to 15 million euros. This amount is considered reasonable for a player with the quality and experience of the former Manchester City footballer.
His enormous salary is a problem for Real Madrid
However, one of the main obstacles to closing the deal remains Laporte's salary. The center-back currently earns around 24 million euros annually in Saudi Arabia, a salary that would be difficult to maintain at Real Madrid. The player would have to accept a significant reduction in his earnings for the transfer to be viable.
Florentino Pérez's strategy could involve taking advantage of the meetings and contacts during the team's stay in Saudi territory to bridge positions with Laporte's surroundings and Al-Nassr. The player, on his part, would also need to show willingness to return to European elite football, sacrificing part of his salary.
