Didac Aguirre Real Madrid close to making a splash with another center-back on a free transfer: it's not Tah
The unbelievable signing that has surpassed Jonathan Tah's that Real Madrid could make
Throughout the season, Real Madrid noticed that their weakest position was, by far, the defense. Despite having highly talented and experienced center-backs, the club's season was affected by poor performance and injuries. Due to this, Real Madrid is determined to strengthen this position during the next transfer window.
While the signing of Dean Huijsen is close to becoming a reality, Real Madrid is seeking the transfer of another center-back. Jonathan Tah has emerged as a quite solid option, especially because he is nearing the end of his contract with Bayer Leverkusen. However, Real Madrid has once again shown interest in Aymeric Laporte, an old interest of the team.
Having been close to joining during the winter transfer window, Laporte has reemerged as an option for the summer. This is because, with his desire to leave Al-Nassr, Laporte is negotiating his release to return to European soccer.
a better center-back than Tah
Achieving his greatest successes with Manchester City, Aymeric Laporte signed for Al-Nassr in 2023. A move that Laporte, months later, has shown deep regret for due to several factors. With the desire to return to Europe, Real Madrid has once again positioned itself as a more than possible destination for the summer.
Despite being 30 years old, Laporte is a center-back with quite impressive experience and quality. Having been key in several of City's successes and in the recent successes of the Spanish national team, Laporte remains a top-level center-back.
Although Tah is a center-back who has proven his worth in recent seasons, his performance is behind that of Laporte. However, the possible arrival of Laporte at Real Madrid depends on how well or poorly the negotiations with Al-Nassr end.
a top-level reinforcement for Real Madrid
While the addition of Laporte would help Real Madrid once again have a solid backline, the club will have to wait. With the summer transfer window not even starting, Laporte has more than enough time to leave Saudi Arabia.
