The Athletic Club is on the verge of making a significant move in the market with the return of Aymeric Laporte. The center-back, currently playing for Saudi's Al Nassr, is set to wear the red and white jersey again. An agreement seems to be finalized among all parties, and the official announcement is pending some administrative details. For the Bilbao club, this is a crucial signing not only due to his quality but also for the symbolic value he carries.

Aymeric Laporte to return to Athletic Club

Laporte made a mark at San Mamés in his first spell before moving to Manchester City, where he gained titles and top-level experience. Having gathered competitive rhythm and leadership during his time in Saudi Arabia, the defender sees coming back home as an appealing challenge. His return addresses a specific need: strengthening a defensive line that will face challenges in the upcoming season with the club's presence in the Champions League.

The operation had been discreetly in progress at Ibaigane for weeks. Laporte, fulfilling the club's youth academy requirement, fits seamlessly into Ernesto Valverde's project in every aspect. His international experience and ability to lead the defense are highly valued at Lezama, where he is already viewed as an immediate role model within the squad. The harmony between player and club has been evident since their initial contact.

This move showcases Athletic’s ambition and commitment to a competitive squad. Laporte's comeback brings a quality boost to a young and promising defense. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the announcement of his signing should happen within hours. Everything is set for his return to San Mamés.
