The future of Aymeric Laporte seems increasingly closer to Turkey. After the failed attempt to return to Athletic Club, the Spanish defender of French origin could be heading to Istanbul, where Besiktas has taken the lead in the race to secure his services.

The Turkish club has been in contact with Al Nassr, the player's owner, for days, and in the last few hours, negotiations have made significant progress bringing the conclusion closer.

Besiktas advances to sign Aymeric Laporte

The main obstacle in the negotiation is the high salary of the center-back, estimated at around 13 million euros per year. Besiktas has presented a clear proposal: for the Saudi team to cover a large part of those earnings to facilitate the transfer. The yellow-black board is confident that this formula will convince Al Nassr, as the goal is to close the deal before September 12, the Turkish transfer market deadline.

According to AS, Laporte is receptive to the idea of moving to Istanbul. The player believes that his time in Saudi Arabia has lost its sporting appeal and values the opportunity to regain prominence in a demanding league like Süper Lig. Furthermore, he does not hide his optimism about reaching a personal agreement that would make him a new standout in the Turkish defense.

Meanwhile, Athletic has not given up and is waiting for FIFA's response following the bureaucratic error that thwarted his incorporation in the Spanish market's closing moments. The Bilbao team is trying to prove that they were not responsible for the delay in paperwork, although the resolution will not come until midweek. However, all indications suggest that Besiktas is ahead in this race.

The interest of the Istanbul club is not random. With the league already underway, Besiktas aims to strengthen its defense with a player of hierarchy and international experience. Laporte's arrival would not only represent an increase in quality but also a media impact, bolstering the image of a project that aims to compete for the title.

In parallel, another Turkish giant, Trabzonspor, is also very active in the market and negotiating with Manchester United for the loan of André Onana. However, the operation for the Cameroonian goalkeeper does not overshadow the attention-grabbing move: Laporte's arrival in Istanbul.

With the countdown against time and positions becoming increasingly aligned, the story seems to be heading towards a favorable outcome for Besiktas' interests. If nothing goes wrong in the coming days, Aymeric Laporte could wear the yellow-black and become one of the standout signings in the Turkish market.
