The Athletic Club has decided to go all out for Aymeric Laporte. The red-and-white board has made the return of the international center-back their absolute priority for this summer market. According to sources close to the operation, the San Mamés club has already initiated preliminary contacts to assess the situation, knowing that the competition is high and the player's contractual situation in Saudi Arabia is not simple.

Laporte, who currently plays for Al Nassr, still has one more year left on his contract with the Saudi club. However, the Arab team is undergoing a deep restructuring, with a new coach, the departure of top executives, and the direct influence of Cristiano Ronaldo on sporting decisions. This scenario opens a window of opportunity for Athletic, which hopes to convince the defender by appealing to the emotional connection with Bilbao, the city where his children were born and where he left an indelible mark.

His salary is a problem, but the club is confident in bringing him back

The major obstacle is the player's high salary, close to 25 million gross per season, which is completely unaffordable for the economic standards of the lions. Nevertheless, the insistence of Ernesto Valverde, who sees Laporte as a key piece to reinforce the defense for an demanding season that includes the Champions League, has pushed the club to prepare a serious offer within its means.

While clubs like Juventus, Arsenal, or Napoli also show interest in the center-back, Athletic relies on sentimental factors to take the lead in the race for his signing.
