Aymeric Laporte on Real Madrid Interest: “I Would Pick Up the Call”

Aymeric Laporte’s future could take a dramatic turn as he hints at potential interest from Real Madrid. Fresh off a successful Euro 2024 campaign with Spain, the Al Nassr defender has proved he still has what it takes to play at the top level, despite two seasons in the Saudi Pro League.

Speaking to Cadena SER while on international duty, Laporte didn’t hold back his admiration for European football’s elite clubs. “Teams like Real Madrid are never looked down upon,” he remarked, acknowledging that he’d be open to their call. Despite enjoying a lucrative contract in Saudi Arabia, the defender emphasized his desire to return to European competition eventually.

Laporte also defended his Saudi move against critics, pointing out that he achieved his dream of winning the European Championship during this time. Now, with 54 appearances for Al Nassr under his belt, speculation is mounting about his potential return to Europe, particularly as Real Madrid faces pressing defensive issues.

When asked directly about Real Madrid’s reported interest, Laporte kept things simple: “When a club like Real Madrid calls, you answer.” It’s clear that the door is open for a high-profile move, and fans are eagerly waiting to see if Laporte’s words signal an imminent return to one of Europe’s biggest stages.
