Laporte moved to the Saudi Pro League side last summer from Manchester City in a much-anticipated transfer that saw him join forces with the likes of Sadio Mane and Cristiano Ronaldo. However, the Frenchman failed to have a very major impact on the side and is now pushing to terminate his contract with Al-Nassr.
