After spending a year in Saudi Arabia and winning the European Championship, Aymeric Laporte has started to feel nostalgic for European football.
As reported by Sport, the European champion defender is eager to make a comeback to a top European league.
“Laporte is eager to return to Europe and explore new challenges,” a source close to the player told Sport.
Real Madrid are reportedly keen on reinforcing their defensive line and have been in contact with Laporte’s representatives.
Negotiations for terminating his existing contract with Al-Nassr are said to be underway, with the Spanish giants hopeful of securing his signature before the transfer window closes.
