Athletic Bilbao endured a nightmare start to their La Liga campaign after suffering a 3-1 home defeat against Sevilla. The setback means Edin Terzic's side have already equalled an unwanted defensive record from last season following an early red card.
Barcelona are preparing to contact the representatives of Aymeric Laporte following his outstanding performances at the recent World Cup. The defender formed a brilliant partnership with Pau Cubarsi as Spain conceded just one goal throughout the entire tournament to lift the trophy, making him a highly attractive, low-cost option to strengthen the Catalan club's defensive line.
