On Wednesday, it was all-but confirmed that Real Madrid have missed out on the signing of Leny Yoro. The 18-year-old defender has agreed to join Manchester United, after Los Blancos failed to submit an acceptable offer to Lille. Club bosses must now begin work on identifying alternative targets, and a rather surprising one has emerged.
According to El Mundo (via Sport), Real Madrid are considering a move for Aymeric Laporte. The 30-year-old was in fantastic form for Spain at Euro 2024, and although he has been playing for Al-Nassr since last summer, he showed that he is more than capable of playing at the highest level.
Laporte, who has been linked with Atletico Madrid in recent weeks, would be a relatively low-cost signing for Real Madrid, and he’d also help with the club’s homegrown quota for their La Liga and Champions League registration. Kepa Arrizabalaga, Nacho Fernandez and Joselu Mato have all departed this summer, meaning that there is a distinct lack of Spanish players in Carlo Ancelotti’s squad.
Laporte would also arrive as a left-footed centre-back option, which would be very welcome for Real Madrid considering David Alaba’s absence. They could certainly do far worse than signing the former Athletic Club and Manchester City defender.

I think Barca should also consider this lad. in fact he's very good and versatile and can help bring Steele to the Barca backline which is very porous and are responsible for the plentiful of goals the team shipped last season. our focus shouldn't only be in midfield and attack, the defense also needed to be augmented

It’s a brilliant idea but not a smart one, given the fact that the transfer window still has time🤷🏼♂️

Laporte proved that playing in Saudi won't affect any class from the player. His performances showed as last one year he had been playing in very highest level of football in SPL. This is the victory of SPL

You guys can go fr Romero of Tottenham..... aggressive defender just as rudiger
romero is overated and is too aggressive ...van den ven would be perfect but would probably be untouchable calafiori is another great option with arsenal wasting time on completing the deal

A good option yes, but no longevity in the transfer. Madrid needs someone for the next 5-10yrs.
