Aymeric Laporte Eyes Free Return to Athletic Club

Athletic Club’s Impressive Summer Transfer Window Continues

Athletic Club has been making waves in the transfer market this summer, with key signings and exciting developments on the horizon. Nico Williams’ decision to extend his contract for 10 years despite interest from Barcelona was a major boost for the club. Additionally, the acquisitions of Robert Navarro and Jesus Areso have added depth to the squad. However, the biggest news could be the potential return of Aymeric Laporte to the team.

Aymeric Laporte’s Potential Return to Athletic Club

Laporte’s desire to leave Al-Nassr in the Saudi Pro League and return to Europe has been widely reported. The French defender has already reached a personal agreement with Athletic Club, his former club before his move to Manchester City in 2018. The possibility of Laporte rejoining Athletic on a free transfer is now very real.

Negotiations with Al-Nassr for Laporte’s Departure

According to reports from Marca, Laporte and Al-Nassr are in talks to mutually terminate his contract. This move would pave the way for Laporte to join Athletic without a transfer fee. However, Laporte would need to forego a portion of his salary for the upcoming season for this to happen. Al-Nassr’s head coach, Jorge Jesus, has confirmed Laporte’s imminent departure.

Excitement Building for Laporte’s Possible Return

The prospect of Laporte reuniting with Athletic Club has fans buzzing with excitement. Securing his signature on a free transfer would be a major coup for the club. While there are still details to iron out, including financial considerations, all signs point to Laporte’s return to his former club.
