Aymeric Laporte returns to the top leagues of Europe 6v5x2s

The future of Aymeric Laporte seems far from Saudi Arabia. Following Al-Nassr's elimination in the AFC Champions League semifinals, the center-back appears to be preparing his departure from the club, with the most likely destination being Olympique de Marseille, where he is in advanced talks.

The defeat of the Riyadh-based team against Kawasaki Frontale (2-3) has been a harsh blow for a squad built to win. Despite having stars like Cristiano Ronaldo, Sadio Mané, and Laporte himself, the team failed to meet its objectives. The Spanish international was criticized after a weak defensive performance, particularly in the third Japanese goal, displaying a concerning lack of assertiveness.

With five matches remaining in the Saudi league and limited chances of clinching the title, Laporte considers his time in the Gulf region over. Despite being under contract until 2026, his inconsistent form and media pressure are expediting his exit. Marseille has been pursuing him for months, and unless a surprise occurs, all signs point to it being his new destination for the 2025/26 season.

The deal is expected to be around 10-15 million euros, with the only pending requirement being the French club's confirmation of qualifying for the next UEFA Champions League edition, which is highly likely. Managed by Roberto De Zerbi, the team is currently second in Ligue 1 and could take a significant step forward this matchday with a victory over Lille.
