UEFA Champions League
Aymeric Laporte has decided to take a new direction in his career. After two seasons in Saudi Arabia defending the colors of Al Nassr, the Spanish national team center-back is looking to return to European football. His intention to leave the Asian club, despite still having a year left on his contract, has sparked the interest of several teams on the continent. However, everything indicates that his destination will not be Spain.
Galatasaray has positioned itself as the club best placed to secure the services of the Basque-French defender. Although his departure from Al Nassr depends on a contract termination, Istanbul is attentive and ready to make a move if Laporte becomes a free agent. According to reports from the newspaper AS, the Turkish club, which will have a direct presence in the upcoming edition of the Champions League, believes that the former Manchester City player could bring hierarchy and international experience to their defense.
He also has the option to return to France
Although Davinson Sánchez is a key piece in Okan Buruk's scheme, the coach considers it essential to add a left-footed center-back to complement his defense. In that profile, Laporte fits perfectly, both for his technical qualities and leadership.
Meanwhile, clubs like Olympique de Marseille are closely monitoring the player's situation, although everything points to Galatasaray having the upper hand. At 31 years old, Laporte wants to return to the highest level of competition, and Turkish football could be his new platform to achieve it.
