Report Como eyeing Laporte deal

According to reports from Gianluca Di Marzio , Cesc Fabregas’s side are hoping to make another defensive addition before the close of the summer transfer window.

Sunday’s report claims that Laporte is an option, and that the French-born Spain international could be available on a free transfer as he prepares to terminate his contract with Al-Nassr.

Laporte is currently under contract in Saudi Arabia until the end of the 2025-26 season, but recent reports claim that he will be freed from his agreement one year early, which will facilitate a move away from the club on a free transfer.

Reports in the UK indicate that Laporte is currently in the top-three highest earning defenders in the world on his current contract with Al-Nassr.
