Back to the fold for Aymeric Laporte? The 31 -year -old central defender could return to Athletic Bilbao, seven years after his departure for Manchester City. After Radio Marca Bilbaothe Basque club and the Saudi training of Al-Nassr, where the Spanish international is currently playing (40 selections, 2 goals), are in advanced negotiations and could conclude this transfer this week. The player, for his part, has already reached a total agreement with the Basques.

After being trained at Athletic and having played in the first team between 2012 and 2018 (222 games, 10 goals, 6 assists), he would commit for a period of 3 to 4 years. The fact that David Hancko is on the way to joining Al-Nassr should also facilitate the return of Aymeric Laporte to Spain. In a season when the Basques will find the Champions League, there is no doubt that counting the European champion in club and selection would be excellent news.
