Aymeric Laporte remains a transfer topic at Olympique Marseille. OM is continuing to maintain contact with the 30-year-old central defender, who has been playing in Saudi Arabia at Al Nassr since 2023. Laporte is under contract with Al Nassr until 2026. In the fall, Laporte suggested that he was open to a return to Europe. Between his time at Athletic Bilbao and Manchester City, Laporte was reportedly considered by Real Madrid during a period when David Alaba suffered a cruciate ligament injury. A move to Marseille would mark his first stint in Ligue 1 for the defender, who was born in Agen, France.
