Laport stays in Bilbao, waiting to return to Athletic

“Athletic” and Aymeric Laporte have not lost hope of reuniting. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

The defender’s transfer from Al-Nasr was not finalized on time, and FIFA rejected Bilbao club’s request to register Laporte outside the summer transfer window. According to the El Correo publication, 31-year-old Laporte is currently in Bilbao, awaiting a response to FIFA’s appeal.

The Athletic team is expecting a decision this week. If the decision is negative, the Basques intend to appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).

Aymeric Laporte has played a total of 222 matches for Athletic, scoring 10 goals and providing 6 assists. His contribution to the team is significant, standing out with his defensive experience and effectiveness on the field.

Negotiations between the club and the player are ongoing, and there is hope that cooperation may continue in the future. Football fans and experts are closely following this process.
