Third-highest paid defender in the world to be RELEASED a year before his £390,000-a-week contract ends

The incredible £ 390,000 per week Aymeric Laporte contract comes prematurely in Saudi Arabia.

The former center-back in Manchester City, which is currently the third highest defender in world football, has agreed to break the ties with Al Nassr, according to As.

He would have a difficult relationship with manager Stefano Pioli and is now expected to leave the club in the coming days, even though his deal was signed until 2026.

He was excluded from the semi-final match of the Asian Champions League against Kawasaki Frontale in the clearest indication that he is on his way to an exit.

Laporte's Eye-Watering Contract puts him third on the list of best paid defenders, behind the £ 553.225 per week and Virgil van Dijk by Kalidou Koulibaly and the new deal of Virgil van Dijk worth around £ 400,000 a week.

Although the 30-year-old will not find his next contract so lucrative outside Saudi, there will still be a lot of interest in his signature.

Real Madrid is said to be interested in him and be on the market for a defender, although they probably seem to focus on a younger player.

And Marseille currently belongs to the front runners to recruit it on a free transfer.

Laporte was part of the starting line-up for Spain when they defeated England in the final of Euro 2024.

He showed that he can still perform at the highest level and has been a position for Al Nassr, the same side Cristiano Ronaldo plays for.

But it seems that every bitterness is too much to overcome and his future lies elsewhere, after he has joined the club for £ 23.6 million.

Al Nassr eventually lost the Asian Champions League semi-final 3-2 and the team apparently out of the title race.

They are currently third, 11 points behind leaders Al Ittihad and five points behind Al Hilal in second place.
