Real Madrid's rent to the guard was rejected, and Manchester City players were happy to be in Saudi Arabia!The attraction of the giants has weakened?
On May 25, Beijing time, Juan Castro of the Spanish newspaper "Marca" published a report about the Spanish national team central defender Laporte. But Laporte doesn't want to give up the team he is now playing for Riyadh for the sake of Real Madrid.
Real Madrid had won 4-1 against Villarreal in their previous 17 league games, but centre-back Alaba suffered a serious injury on 35 minutes that led to the end of the season. It will also force Real Madrid to strengthen the vacancy of central defenders in the winter transfer window. They are also linked with Raphael Varane, while Aymeric Laporte, who went to Asia this season to play in Saudi Arabia alongside Cristiano Ronaldo, is now also eyed by Real Madrid. Although at the moment, it is very difficult for Real Madrid to sign the 29-year-old Spanish national team player.
Laporte was born in May 1994 and is a 29-year-old youth player from Athletic Bilbao in Spain. In January 2018, Laporte brought him to the Etihad for a release fee of €57 million and signed him on a five-year contract. With six and a half years at Manchester City, Aymeric Laporte has made 180 appearances for the club, scoring 12 goals, providing four assists, five Premier League titles, four League Cups, two FA Cups, two Charity Shields, one Champions League and one UEFA Super Cup.
However, Laporte was completely reduced to a bench player last season due to a change in the team's tactical style, and the arrival of José Gvardiol in the summer transfer market has marked his departure. In the end, Laporte moved to Riyadh for £27.5 million, and his partners were the famous players of European football, Cristiano Ronaldo, Mane, Brozovic, Telles. Laporte has scored one goal and one assist in 19 appearances won in Riyadh so far, and one goal and one assist in 12 Premier League appearances, and he can contribute an average of 058 steals, 092 interceptions, 1With 58 clearances, 771 passes and 4 key passes, the performance was still remarkable.
As a young businessman, Laporte made a lot of money in West Asia, and when he was in Riyadh, he received a salary of 15 million euros, and he did not have to pay taxes, which was 15 million euros. In the Premier League, he can earn £800,000 a week, on par with Laporte's predecessor Erling Haaland.
It is impossible for Real Madrid to come up with such a high salary, and even if Laporte is willing to give a five-percent discount, Real Madrid may not agree. Laporte, however, shows no signs of a "child's dream". Today, his salary in Saudi Arabia is high and he has a lot of opportunities to play, which does not prevent him from becoming a member of Spain. When it comes to trophies, apart from the League Cup, he has won every trophy at Manchester City. Therefore, he does not have much interest in a world-class club like Real Madrid.
