OM continues its summer shopping. Eager to strengthen the defensive sector in particular, which did not meet expectations last season, Marseille leaders have already completed the arrivals of CJ Egan-Riley, free land from Burnley, and Facundo Medina, transferred in the form of a loan with option to buy.
The Marseille club has also been studying for several months the possibility of affirming Aymeric Laporte. Seduced by the Olympian project, the Spanish international had given the green light to settle down on the canebière if OM was able to qualify for the next Champions League campaign. If the mission was accomplished by the Roberto de Zerbi band, a major element has changed the situation in this file.
While Medhi Benatia and his teams hoped that Aymeric Laporte can negotiate a termination of his contract with Al-Nassr, the Saudi training finally decided not to let his defender go without consideration, reports the media

Laporte to a return to La Liga
A decision which would have had the consequence of fully cooling the ardor of the Vélodrome residents, who would not be inclined to pay such a high sum for a 31 -year -old player. The track would even have been abandoned.
According to information fromEstadio DeportivoAyemric Laporte is said to be in advanced discussions with Athletic Bilbao, who wishes to repatriate him. As a reminder, the native of Agen evolved from 2012 to 2018 in the Basque club before joining Manchester City and then Saudi Arabia.
