The Athletic Club continues to press for the coveted signing of Aymeric Laporte

Aymeric Laporte could be close to making a sensational return to Athletic Club. The international defender, currently in Saudi Arabia, is on the radar of the Bilbao team, which is looking to strengthen its defense for an exciting season with the return to the Champions League. The Athletic Club's sports management values his profile very positively, both for his elite experience and his history at San Mamés.

Laporte, Athletic Club's Top Priority

Laporte, who made a significant impact during his first spell at the Basque team, has seen his visibility in European football diminish after his time in Saudi football. Despite maintaining good physical condition, the center-back would be willing to compete again in a more demanding and, above all, familiar environment. The option to return to the club where he started his professional career appears as an attractive alternative both in sporting and personal terms.

The Bilbao team, which has lost players in the defensive line and needs immediate solutions, believes that his return would bring hierarchy and leadership to a squad that will face a more demanding schedule. Furthermore, his knowledge of the club and immediate adaptation would be key advantages in decision-making. Although the operation is not easy due to economic reasons, talks are underway, and there is willingness from all parties involved.

In the player's circle, they do not rule out a move in this transfer window if the conditions are right. Laporte maintains a good relationship with the club and has never closed the door to a second spell. In Bilbao, every step is closely followed, and the excitement grows to see the center-back wearing the red and white jersey again in such a special year as the return to the top continental competition.
