Former Athletic Bilbao sporting director, Rafael Alkorta, has urged Real Madrid to avoid sign Arsenal’s William Saliba next summer transfer window instead of Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr’s teammate Aymeric Laporte.

One of Cristiano Ronaldo's teammates at Al-Nassr is keen to join Real Madrid in the January transfer window as Los Blancos seeks to solve their injury woes.

Aymeric Laporte, who plays alongside Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr, has opened up about why he will be keen on going to Real Madrid if such a move transpires. Madrid have been hit with injuries in their defensive department, with Eder Militao their most recent casualty with an ACL tear. David Alaba too is injured.
