Transfer News: Real Madrid turn attention to Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr after Yoro snub
Real Madrid's search for a new centre-half has taken a surprising turn after they missed out on Manchester United-bound Leny Yoro.
The Spanish giants had been keen on the Lille sensation but refused to pay over the odds, hoping to land him on a free transfer next summer.
However, United swooped in and snatched him up, leaving Madrid to look elsewhere.
Real Madrid target Aymeric Laporte
Now Los Blancos have turned their sights to Aymeric Laporte, the 30-year-old Spanish defender currently playing for Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia.
Laporte, a teammate of Cristiano Ronaldo, showcased his quality at the Euros, winning a winner's medal with Spain.
Madrid are eager to bring in another centre-half to compete with Eder Militao, Antonio Rudiger, and David Alaba, and Laporte, who only left Manchester City last summer is reportedly keen on a return to Europe.
