At present, the Real Madrid confronts a crucial need in his staff: reinforce the centre of his defensive line. After the game of Nacho Fernández to the balompié catarí and the injury of David Praises, the one who recovers of a break of the ligament crossed previous of the left knee suffered in December, the cast merengue finds with scarce defensive options. Antonio Rüdiger and Éder Militãor are the main alternative, whereas Aurélien Tchoauméni, mediocentro, outlines like an option of emergency in this demarcation.

Initially, the Real Madrid had the intention to cover this lack with Leny Yoro, a promising acquisition in the defensive field. Nevertheless, the opportunity banished to the demorar the negotiation, allowing that the Manchester United ensured the contracting of the exjugador of the LOSC Lille.

In front of this situation, the combined white has begun to explore other options, between which stands out Aymeric Laporte, of 30 years. The one of Agen, after his success with Spain in the Eurocopa, where participated in six of the seven commitments that faced with 'The Red' in this contest, has revitalizado his cost futbolística. In spite of playing at present in Saudi Arabia, a championship considered by many as of second order, the '14' of the Spanish selection showed in the 'Euro' that still can offer a stellar level in the European football.

The reason that complicates the interest of the Real Madrid in Aymeric Laporte

Apparently, the Real Madrid was considering the option to purchase to Aymeric Laporte during this market of summer to reinforce his defensive line. However, according to several sources, the group of Chamartín only was contemplating this contracting under some conditions. These included that the defender arrived like free agent and accepted a reduction salarial, since, according to the metric of 'Capology', the central defender at present has an annual gross wage of 24,5 M€, a mount difficult to assume for the white picture.

Now, this operation seems to confront additional difficulties to concretise . As it commented in the portal sportive web 'Fichajes.com', the To the-Nassr, proprietary club of the index card of Laporte until 2026, is not had to leave it go out without a compensation. They have fixed his price of exit in no less than 35 'kilos', a sum that the square of the Spanish capital probably is not had to equalise. Therefore, unless there is a radical change in this posture, is likely that the transaction remain on the dot died.
