FC Barcelona has identified Aymeric Laporte, the center-back of Athletic Club, as their top priority in this summer transfer window. Hansi Flick wants a left-footed center-back to strengthen their defensive rotation.

The sports management led by Deco is looking for a left-sided player to pair with Pau Cubarsí in defense, relying on the performance of the Spanish international in the 2026 World Cup, where he conceded only 1 goal in 8 matches.

The dilemma of the price between Athletic Club and the agreed clause

According to the newspaper Sport, the FC Barcelona board is examining the financial details of Laporte's contract, who returned to Bilbao less than a year ago from Al-Nassr. The Athletic Club board maintains that the player's transfer price is 80 million euros.

However, sources close to the player suggest the existence of a pre-agreed release clause at the time of signing for 15 million euros. Deco has already made inquiries to clarify the actual amount needed to secure the transfer.

Real Madrid's competition for the signing of Aymeric Laporte

Real Madrid has had a consistent interest in the player for several seasons. Despite not prioritizing a central defender, the prospect of signing Laporte for the stipulated 15 million euros in his alternative clause keeps the White Club in the race.

The performance of the player alongside Pau Cubarsí in the national team confirms the interest of both LaLiga clubs. The defender's experience from his time in the Premier League and the Saudi league strengthens his position as an immediate transfer option.

The FC Barcelona board will request a formal legal report to confirm if the 15 million euros clause is enforceable before August 25. If this affordable exit amount is confirmed, FC Barcelona will make a formal proposal to Athletic Club to complete the defender's transfer before the start of the league competition.
