The Athletic Club has taken a step forward in its goal to bring Aymeric Laporte back home. The rojiblanca sports management has already made a formal offer to Al-Nassr, with the intention of closing the defender's return to San Mamés as soon as possible. The desire to re-sign the center-back is not new, but the situation of Yeray Álvarez and the player's willingness have accelerated the process.
As reported by journalist Fabrizio Romano, the Bilbao club has already sent a proposal to the Saudi team to try to finalize the transfer of the Agen player. This time, Al-Nassr's stance seems more flexible than on previous occasions, thus facilitating a potentially positive outcome for Athletic.

Furthermore, Laporte has informed coach Jorge Jesús of his intention to come back to the club where he was trained. He would have asked for permission to negotiate his departure, and the Portuguese coach would not have put up obstacles, which has been crucial for the operation to start taking shape. However, the central defender's return will also require a financial effort on the player's part, as he will need to reduce his salary to fit the Basque team's budget limit.
Though there are still details to be finalized, the atmosphere in Bilbao is optimistic. The ball is in Laporte's court, and if everything continues smoothly, his return to Athletic could become a reality in the coming weeks.
