Marca: Laporte may return to the Premier League, and his departure from Al Nassr only awaits a final agreement [sijing]

Live5 May 14th - According to Marca, Al Nassr plans to let Laporte go during this summer's transfer window, which aligns with the player's own wishes. The 2024 European Championship winner may return to the Premier League. Although the contract period lasts until 2026, both sides have decided to part ways this summer and are now only awaiting the final agreement to be reached.

Saudi media generally predict that Laporte will leave the team in the near future. The defender, with an annual salary of 24.5 million euros, has been put on the list of players to be let go by Al Nassr, while Laporte himself is eager to return to the top league. All signs indicate that this defender will return to the English football scene. In fact, since Al Nassr's elimination from the AFC Champions League, Laporte has been constantly excluded from the plan.

In the 31 rounds of the Saudi Professional League this season, he only played in 20 games and scored 4 goals. With the team trailing Benzema's United Jeddah to third place, Laporte is doomed to fail to win the league title with the team.

Throughout his career, the 31-year-old centre-back won six Premier League titles and two FA Cups with Guardiola during his time at Manchester City, and was involved in the Champions League title in the 2023 treble. In August of the same year, he joined Al Nassr for a transfer fee of 23 million euros. So far, he has played 69 games in Saudi Arabia and contributed 9 goals and 1 assist. All signs indicate that the next stop for this defensive star will be back in European football.
