Athletic Bilbao pursues the return of former defender Aymeric Laporte from Al-Nassr this summer. Marca reports that club officials established preliminary terms for a three-year contract with the Spanish center-back. The Basque side awaits Laporte's formal departure from the Saudi Arabian team before completing the transaction. Portuguese manager Jorge Jesus requests Laporte's exit to accommodate a new foreign defender before the transfer window closes. Al-Nassr excluded the player from their Austrian training camp and recent friendlies against Rio Ave and Almeria.
Representatives from all three parties engage in active discussions regarding financial arrangements. The negotiations aim to expedite Laporte's transfer before the upcoming season begins. Athletic Bilbao views the defender as a valuable addition to their squad after his previous tenure with the club. Al-Nassr demonstrates willingness to release Laporte to facilitate their defensive restructuring plans. The transfer appears likely given the mutual interest from both Laporte and his former Spanish club.
