According to reports from Gianluca Di Marzio, Cesc Fabregas's side are hoping to make another defensive addition before the close of the summer transfer window.

Reports in the UK indicate that Laporte is currently in the top-three highest earning defenders in the world on his current contract with Al-Nassr.

Bayer Leverkusen keen to sign Jonathan Clauss from Nice
Bayer Leverkusen are keen to sign France international right-back Jonathan Clauss (32) from OGC Nice, according to Foot Mercato. The former Lens and Marseille fullback was reportedly the subject of serious interest from a still-unnamed club, and the latter is actually Erik ten Hag's Werkself. Clauss, who has earned 14 caps and scored twice for Les Bleus, only joined Nice last summer after leaving Olympique de Marseille. Clauss was reunited with Franck Haise, who he played under previously at Racing Club de Lens where the Sang & Or made a second-placed finish in Ligue 1 and qualified for the UEFA Champions League. The Frenchman has entered the final months of his OGC Nice contract. Foot Mercato understands that Clauss is currently reviewing his options. Should he join Bayer Leverkusen, he'd link up with fellow France international defender Loïc Badé. Clauss would also return to Germany, where he broke through with Arminia Bielefeld.

Commanders with positive injury news on starting offensive lineman
The Washington Commanders received some good news on Wednesday. After missing close to three weeks of practice, left guard Brandon Coleman returned to practice. In his media session before practice, head coach Dan Quinn confirmed that Coleman would be back for Wednesday's session. "Coleman's back into some practice today," Quinn said. "So, that's a good sign. There's nothing like the practice work. We can do it in the walkthrough, we can do it in the meeting room, but it does help when the guys are side by side and going through it together." Coleman limped off the field during Washington's August 2 practice and had been out of practice. It complicated Washington's depth issues because the Commanders are also without right guard Sam Cosmi, who is recovering from knee surgery. As Quinn stated, the injuries created opportunities for other players, with Chris Paul being the biggest beneficiary. Coleman, a third-round pick in the 2024 NFL draft, played in 16 games as a rookie, starting 12 — all at left tackle. However, Washington determined to upgrade the entire unit, traded for five-time Pro Bowl left tackle Laremy Tunsil and spent a first-round pick on tackle Josh Conerly Jr., allowing Coleman to move to his more natural guard position. Washington made some roster moves along the offensive line this week, signing veteran tackle George Fant and releasing guard Julian Good-Jones. Cosmi is also nearing a return, although the date is to be determined. This article originally appeared on Commanders Wire: Commanders receive good news on the injury front
