Athletic Club, enjoying a stellar summer, is making a bold move to bring back former defender Aymeric Laporte from Al-Nassr. Despite significant financial hurdles, including a massive wage cut for Laporte and Al-Nassr's hefty demands, Bilbao hopes for a dream reunion.
Athletic Club's joy over Nico Williams' new deal is tempered by Yeray Alvarez's provisional suspension due to a banned substance from anti-alopecia medication. This unexpected blow impacts their defensive depth.
Nico Williams commits to Athletic Club until 2035, boosting his release clause to around €100m. He notably rejected offers from European giants like Barcelona and Bayern Munich, choosing to stay at San Mamés.
Athletic Club eyes a busy summer, with Nico Williams' likely departure funding moves for Jesus Areso and a reunion with Aymeric Laporte. However, Atletico Madrid also covets Laporte, setting up a potential transfer tussle.
