According to the As newspaper, Laporte wants to join Real Madrid, but Riyadh Victory will not release him for free.
It is understood that, in order to join Real Madrid, Laporte is willing to forgo the remaining two years of his salary worth €48 million at Riyadh Victory. In his first season with Riyadh Victory, he made a total of 39 appearances and scored four goals.
However, Riyadh Victory is unwilling to let Laporte go easily, as they spent €27 million to sign him from Manchester City last year. On the other hand, Real Madrid are not willing to pay any fees for this Spanish international and only want Laporte to join the team as a free agent.
Last season, Real Madrid suffered from a shortage of central defenders, forcing Tchouaméni to play out of position at times. If they remain healthy, Rüdiger, Militão, and Alaba are all first-choice central defenders. Following Nacho’s departure, Vallejo will assume the role of backup center-back.
