"If they call me, I will obviously listen" - Laporte cant 'ignore' Real Madrid interest

After Eder Militao's knee injury, who will miss the rest of the season like Carvajal, Real Madrid's top priority is to reinforce its defense in the winter transfer window, since David Alaba's recovery is not going as expected either.

One of those at the top of 'Los Blancos' shortlist is former Manchester City player Aymeric Laporte. The centre-back has enjoyed and enjoys this stage in Saudi Arabia after some glorious years at Manchester City, he is clear that his career still lacks another great journey in Europe. He sees himself performing at the highest level for several more years and his idea "is to return" because all his family is in Europe.

Precisely, his last time in Europe was with Manchester City: "A team in which we have won a lot, but for me the European Championship has been much more special -than the Champions League- because of the importance I have had, the group, what we are achieving at the national team level, exceptional teammates. I have rarely come across a group like this. I would keep this. But five Premierships in six years was spectacular”.

His face changed slightly when he was mentioned the possible interest of Real Madrid: “I'm not very aware, I've only read the same as you. There is no problem. It sounds good. I would listen to them, obviously, you don't snub teams like Real Madrid."
