Al Nassr: tensions rise around Laporte and Otávio

At Al-Nassr, tensions are running high with Aymeric Laporte and Otávio. Both players, who are on the verge of leaving, have fallen out with the Saudi club's management, led by Jorge Jesus.

According to Marca, the management is considering a drastic measure: registering Laporte and Otávio only for the AFC Champions League 2, excluding them from all other competitions. This would be a way to respond to the pressure the players are putting on the club as they push for a transfer.

In Laporte's case, this strategy aims to counter his request to terminate his contract, which would open the door for a return to Athletic Club under Ernesto Valverde. Such a move would be a major boost for the Basque side, but it's infuriating Al Nassr's management.

With just a few weeks left before the transfer window closes, the atmosphere remains tense. One thing is clear: the relationship between Al Nassr, Laporte, and Otávio is now completely fractured.
