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.
Aymeric Laporte has opened up on his decision to turn his back on the Saudi Pro League, admitting that life at Al-Nassr did not align with his professional or personal expectations. The Spain international, who completed a fairytale return to Athletic Club last summer, revealed that his desire to return to his roots outweighed lucrative offers from several other European giants, including Marseille.
