Western media: Real Madrid wants to sign Spain international central defender Laporte, salary is an obstacle & the player is willing to join(danyu)

Live broadcast on November 15th Spanish media Relevo reported that Real Madrid is interested in bringing in Riyadh Victory central defender Laporte, but high salaries and contracts have become a big obstacle, but the player himself has a positive attitude towards joining.

Western media said that Real Madrid is currently paying close attention to the transfer market, and the club is preparing for a possible January signing due to the team's defensive strength falling more than expected. The 30-year-old Laporte has been one of the key targets, with the experienced centre-back familiar with La Liga and the ability to bring instant power to Carlo Ancelotti.

Real Madrid's backline has dropped more than expected and the club is preparing for a possible sign-in in January. No final decision has been made yet. In recent years, the club have proven not to waste money on expediency, especially in the January transfer window that they don't trust too much. But if there are the right players, the price is reasonable and there is a sporting guarantee, they will take action. In the selection of the most favourites, Laporte's name was highlighted.

The experienced centre-back is familiar with La Liga and can immediately bring instant momentum to Carlo Ancelotti. There is no doubt about the quality of this player. However, the biggest obstacle to bringing in the player is the economy, and it is not easy to solve. His sky-high contract for victory in Riyadh required effort from all parties, which complicates the deal. The door is not closed, but it is clear that the club, the player himself and, to some extent, the Saudi side will need to make concessions if the transfer is to be finalised.

Laporte earns more than €20 million a year and is not taxed if he plays for two years in the Saudi Pro League. This figure is far beyond what Real Madrid are willing to pay. The main problem, however, is that if he chooses to leave this winter transfer window, he will have to pay around half of the salary he has received. If the transfer is postponed until the summer, this figure will be significantly lowered, making the deal more viable.

Therefore, to complete this transfer, Laporte will either give up part of the promised salary, or Real Madrid will pay a higher salary. Or both, which will help reach an agreement. Real Madrid know that if they decide to bring in the international player, who is currently training with the Spanish national team, it will be the most difficult obstacle to overcome. They are looking into whether there are other, simpler ways to do it.

Even Riyadh Victory will need to make concessions through a willingness to negotiate, after all, the player's contract does not expire until 2026. The third-placed team in the Saudi league boasts two top centre-backs, Aymeric Laporte and Simakan. In a year of competition for domestic competitions and the AFC Champions League, losing any of them would be a significant weakening of the squad.

Laporte is very much looking forward to returning to Europe, especially with Real Madrid. However, there has not been any contact between the club and the player. Just in case, he expressed his affection on the show yesterday: "Sounds good. Obviously a team like Real Madrid can't be turned down. "

This has already happened to several European clubs last summer, including Bayern Munich. They wanted him to leave Saudi early with a lucrative offer, but met with conditions that were almost insurmountable at the economic level. These conditions will be in 202
