According to Marca, the centre-back was linked with the cream of the crop after David Alaba's injury. However, the 29-year-old has found stability in Saudi Arabia and is not going to change clubs.

LaPorte was one of many big names to head to Saudi Arabia this summer, joining Cristiano Ronaldo at Al Nasr. They are second in the standings, 10 points behind league leaders Al Hilal.
