Former Manchester City and Athletic Club center back Aymeric Laporte has his eye on Real Madrid amid the club's current injury crisis.
Real Madrid's already depleted backline suffered another huge blow when Éder Militão tore his ACL against Osasuna. The Brazilian joins Dani Carvajal, who is also out for the season with an ACL injury, on the sidelines. David Alaba, meanwhile, is still recovering from the ACL injury he sustained last year. Even Carlo Ancelotti's emergency center backs, Aurélien Tchouaméni and Lucas Vázquez, are injured.
It is no secret the club could be in the market to sign a defender come January or this summer. As rumors continue to swirl about Alphonso Davies and Trent Alexander-Arnold potentially coming to Madrid, Laporte expressed his interest in playing for the defending Spanish and European champions.
“A call from Madrid? Sounds good,” Laporte told El Larguero. “I would listen to the call. Obviously, you don’t look down on teams like Real Madrid.”
