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.
Alkorta insisted that Saliba will give ten more years of service compared to Laporte.
He, however, said Real Madrid could consider the former Manchester City star as an emergency option in the January transfer window.
Speaking to Cadena SER, Alkorta said:
“I wouldn’t sign in January, I would wait and consider Aymeric Laporte as an option.“Maybe you have to spend €80 million (£66.5m) on a guy like Saliba who will give you 10 more years of service. Madrid rarely make mistakes in that regard
