    The ex-Manchester city Defender Aymeric Laporte also disapproves criticism about the Saudi Pro League
    • January 20, 2024 • 10 months ago
    • Laporte joined Al Nassr last summer as he accepts that he is comfortable in Saudi.
    • Ex-liverpool captain Henderson also leaves his club Al Ettifaq to Ajax

    The ex_ Manchester City defender has revealed that many players are not contented with the atmosphere in Saudi Arabia as he wants to return to Europe.
    Many  players followed Cristiano Rolando to Saudi oro league for the king ransom including Laporte himself as he moved to Al Nassr after a  £23.6m deal .

    The ex_liveroool  captain Jordan Henderson halted his  Al Ettiifaq contract to go to Ajax while his teammate Roberto Firmino  still wants to leave as Karim Benzema tremendously tied with a move to Europe.

    Laporte accepts that he knows more players being unhappy in Saudi Arabia as he warned officials to quickly change things before they decide to leave as he says that
    "It's a big change compared to Europe, but in the end, it's all adaptation," he began. "They haven't made it easy for us.

    "In fact, there are many players who are dissatisfied, but hey, we are working on it every day, negotiating, and seeing if it improves a little because this is something new for [Saudi Arabia] too, having European players who have already had long careers. Maybe they are not used to this and have to adapt to a little more seriousness."

    Asked where he sees this lack of seriousness, Laporte continued: "In every sense, but also in daily life. Life for them, they take everything lightly. The ultimatum you can give them doesn't matter to them. I mean, they're going about their business.

    "You negotiate something and then they don't accept it after you have signed. They fight you. It's a bit of a bummer. In Europe, of course they can take things away from you but they give you things in other aspects.

    "I speak from my own experience and I don't know what others' experiences have been like. For my part, what I have seen is that they try to bring you in, but then there is day-to-day life and that is different.

    "[Al Nassr] take care of us, but not enough for my taste. In Europe, they pay you a good salary too, but they also take better care of you."

    He also spoke about the king ransom money offered by the Middle East clubs which softens players and himself upon his leave from England.

    "To be honest, many of us have come here for reasons other than football," Laporte admitted. "Many of us are happy with that side of things, but I am also looking for something beyond the economic side.

    "In terms of quality of life, I expected something different, because in the end, you spend three hours a day in the car here. Riyadh is full of traffic and wasted time in the car."

    He persisted that he cannot leave not only if they don't change the facilities.
    "Let's see," he said. "At the moment, I haven't thought about it, but if I'm feeling disappointed after such a short time, you wonder what you need to do. That moment has not yet arrived, but in the future it could if this dynamic continues."
