Atletico Madrid is reportedly targeting Aymeric Laporte, a player Manchester City sold in 2023. Laporte, along with Riyad Mahrez, left City for moves to Al-Nassr and Al-Ahli respectively after winning multiple titles with the club. Laporte performed well in Spain’s Euro 2024-winning campaign, and Atletico Madrid sees him as a potential signing if they fail to land David Hancko.
Playing at Atletico Madrid under Diego Simeone could be a great move for Laporte, as the club is one of the biggest in world football. Simeone’s pragmatic approach in big games would suit Laporte’s defensive abilities, and returning to La Liga for Champions League football would be a step up for the talented defender. Laporte’s desire to play at the highest level aligns with a potential move to Atletico Madrid.
Despite being past his best, Mahrez had a productive season in 2022/2023 before leaving City, which could indicate that Laporte still has more to offer in European football. Atletico Madrid sees Laporte as a valuable option for their defense and the player himself is open to returning to La Liga. The move to Atletico Madrid could be a significant next step in Laporte’s career as he aims to continue competing at the highest level.
