The rumored move of Aymeric Laporte from Al Nassr to Real Madrid appears to have hit a dead end, at least for now.

Despite significant speculation linking the Spanish international to the European giants, recent developments suggest that the transfer may not materialize this season.

A star defender in demand

Laporte, who has emerged as one of Al Nassr’s key players, has been at the center of transfer talks following his exceptional performances, including his pivotal role in Spain’s UEFA Euro 2024 triumph.

His leadership and defensive prowess have made him an attractive target for Real Madrid, a club currently struggling with defensive issues due to injuries and inconsistent form.

Real Madrid’s defensive instability has raised questions about their depth, with many viewing Laporte as a potential solution. His experience and proven track record at the highest levels of football would make him a valuable addition to any squad.


The Real Madrid connection

Adding intrigue to the story is Laporte’s connection to Cristiano Ronaldo. With the Portuguese legend maintaining strong ties to Real Madrid, there was speculation that Ronaldo’s influence could facilitate Laporte’s move to the Spanish capital.

However, despite these links, no official agreement has been reached, leaving the transfer rumors in limbo.

Laporte’s importance to Al Nassr cannot be overstated. Since joining the Saudi Pro League side, he has been a cornerstone of their defense, featuring in 17 matches this season and contributing three goals.

With over 1,000 minutes of playing time, he has demonstrated his value not only defensively but also as a leader on the pitch. Losing him mid-season would undoubtedly be a significant blow to Al Nassr’s aspirations.


January’s possibilities and its departure

While the deal seems unlikely to occur during this phase of the season, the upcoming January transfer window may reignite discussions.

Real Madrid’s defensive struggles and Laporte’s impressive form make him a natural candidate for a winter transfer. For now, though, these rumors remain just that—rumors.

As the situation develops, it will be interesting to see whether Real Madrid revisits their interest in Laporte or if the defender continues to shine in Saudi Arabia with Al Nassr. Either way, his future will be one to watch closely as the January transfer window approaches.
