Surprising Move: Real Madrid Contemplating Unanticipated Offer for Manchester City's Centre-Back
Reports suggest that “Los Blancos” is exploring the possibility of acquiring a new central defender in light of Eder Militao’s injury, and they have noticed the Spanish international.
Laporte had been seeking a potential exit from Manchester City for a while. Eventually, a deal was reached between the Premier League giants and Saudi Arabian team Al Nassr, seemingly putting an end to the speculation.
However, it’s important to note that Laporte’s preference is to continue playing in Europe. His consideration of a move to the Middle East was primarily due to the lack of offers from European clubs. This could change swiftly if Real Madrid were to present an offer.
The player, valued at around €25 million, seems open to the idea of joining Madrid. The details of whether Manchester City would entertain the rumored one-year loan proposal from Real Madrid remain uncertain.
Following Militao’s recent injury against Athletic Club, Real Madrid has been actively seeking a replacement. Initially, the club stated they wouldn’t seek a new center defender unless another injury occurred this month. Consequently, Coach Ancelotti began considering young talents from Castilla who fit the bill. One such promising talent is 20-year-old Marvel, whose potential caught Ancelotti’s attention.
In recent days, Marvel, who was born in Morocco, has been seen training with the senior team. His performances have impressed the coaching staff, leading to reports that he is on track to be promoted to the first squad for the upcoming season. As a result, Laporte’s transfer appears uncertain at the moment, making it more likely that he might remain in Saudi Arabia as initially planned.
