Premier League runners-up Arsenal are the latest club to show interest in signing Laporte. Who appears unhappy playing in the Saudi Pro League.

Diario AS reports that the 31-year-old had a falling out with head coach Stefano Pioli. With the final straw being his exclusion from the squad for the AFC Champions League semi-final against Kawasaki Frontale. Which led to a falling out.  ทางเข้า UFABET

For this reason, European clubs are keeping a close eye on Laporte’s situation because of his complete qualifications, skills, experience. And there were even rumors last month that his contract might be terminated. 

The latest camp that is eyeing the Spanish player is Arsenal because it is a position with limited options like last season. Gabriel Magalhaes was injured towards the end of the season. Causing William Saliba, who partnered Jakub Kiwior to perform poorly. Not to mention the recurring injury problems of Jurrien Timber and Riccardo Calafiori. 

The relationship between head coach Mikel Arteta and Laporte is also questionable as they previously worked together at Man City when the Spanish coach was the right-hand man of manager Mikel Arteta. 

The main obstacle for the Gunners will be a variety of competitors such as Athletic Bilbao, Olympique Marseille, Aston Villa, Inter Milan or Napoli. 

Not counting his previous salary at Al – Nassr, he is the third highest-paid defender in the world ( £ 390,000 – a – week ) , behind only Virgil van Dijk / Liverpool ( £400,000 – a – week ) and Kalidou Koulibaly / Al – Hilal ( £ 553,225 – a – week ).
