Aymeric Laporte, the call of the foot

Real Madrid are expected to embark on the acquisition of a new central defender in January as Eder Militao’s knee injury ended his season

Which means Antonio Rudiger is the only recognized senior option in this position available to Carlo Ancelotti – Jesus Vallejo is also there, although he is no more in demand than Raul Asencio or Jacobo Ramon.

Real Madrid are interested in Aymeric Laporte – the Whites were also interested in him during the summer, although Al-Nassr’s asking price meant a deal was not possible. The player himself has now responded to this speculation in an interview with Cadena SER.

Laporte responds to Real

“I would obviously listen to the appeal of Real Madrid, we cannot ignore clubs like that. It’s good to see the connections. I’m not very knowledgeable about this, but it’s obviously nice. »

Real Madrid are unlikely to make a move for Laporte as Al-Nassr’s asking price remains excessive by their standards, although their interest in his services appears real. The situation will be monitored in the coming weeks.
