Aymeric Laporte to join Ronaldo and Mane in Saudi?

The Saudi side Al-Nassr's plans to get the services of Aymeric Laporte this summer have encountered new obstacles. La Liga giants Real Madrid are reportedly eyeing the services of the Manchester City defender. The 29-year-old defender is indeed on the verge of leaving the Etihad Stadium. He wanted to leave Man City after his playing hours continued to decrease from time to time. Laporte himself is reportedly going to migrate to Saudi Arabia. The Saudi Pro League club, Luis Castro-led Al-Nassr, reportedly wants to bring in the defender to strengthen their defense.

The Sun reports that the transfer has the potential to fall through. Because Carlo Ancoletti-led Real Madrid decided to chase the defender's signature. According to the report, Real Madrid is currently in the race for Laporte's services this summer. The Spanish side recently lost their mainstay defender, Eder Militao. The defender will be out for a long time due to an ACL injury. Currently, Real Madrid is currently lacking center-backs is very limited and they need a new centre-back in their team.
