Ronaldo's team is about to lose another star.

Central defender Aymeric Laporte wants to return to Europe to play this summer.

Laporte wants to leave Al Nassr.

According to Marca , although Laporte still had a contract with Al Nassr until 2026, he expressed his desire to leave to the club's management. Al Nassr agreed to terminate the Spanish international's contract early.

Laporte currently earns around 24.5 million euros per year. This is an exorbitant amount, and Al Nassr wants to terminate the central defender's contract to reduce their wage bill.

Since Al Nassr's elimination from the AFC Champions League by Kawasaki Frontale, Laporte has not been part of the club's plans. This season, he has played in 20 out of 31 Saudi Pro League matches, scoring 4 goals. With Al Nassr finishing only third and unable to compete for the championship with Al Ittihad, Laporte has expressed his disappointment and is looking for a new club.

Many European clubs want to sign Laporte, but they require the central defender to reduce his salary. The figure of 24.5 million euros per season is a major obstacle for Laporte to join the big clubs in Europe.

Throughout his career, Laporte has won six Premier League titles under Pep Guardiola at Man City, alongside two FA Cups and the Champions League in 2023. He also won Euro 2024 with the Spanish national team.

The 31-year-old center-back joined Al Nassr in August 2023 for a transfer fee of €23 million from Manchester City. In Saudi Arabia, Laporte has made a total of 69 appearances, scoring 9 goals and providing 1 assist.

Ronaldo's world-class performance at age 40: In the early hours of April 5th, Ronaldo delivered an impressive performance, helping Al Nassr defeat their arch-rivals Al Hilal.
