Barcelona Eye Laporte Move After Impressive World Cup Display
Barcelona are preparing to open talks with Aymeric Laporte following his standout performances for Spain at the 2026 World Cup. The Catalan club see his release clause, reported to be under €15 million, as an attractive opportunity to strengthen their defence on a budget. Sporting director Deco has held preliminary discussions with Laporte’s representatives and plans to resume negotiations now that the tournament is over. Laporte rejoined Athletic Club from the Saudi Pro League last year and remains under contract in Bilbao until 2028. Barcelona’s hierarchy are encouraged by the defender’s World Cup partnership with Pau Cubarsí and believe the pair’s chemistry could form the backbone of their back line next season.
