Reliable journalist Fabrizio Romano reported that Spanish club Athletic Bilbao, along with other European clubs, is closely monitoring the situation of defender Aymeric Laporte during the current summer transfer window.

The international defender, who joined Al Nassr in the summer of 2023 from Manchester City, has become the focus of several clubs looking to strengthen their defenses with a player who has extensive continental experience.

Laporte's future in the Roshan League seems uncertain, especially if Al Nassr's management receives a satisfactory financial offer that could lead them to agree to his departure if the decision serves all parties.

Laporte is considered one of the defensive cornerstones that Al Nassr relies on, making the possibility of his departure a source of concern for the coaching staff as preparations for the new season approach.

Should the player return to Europe, Al Nassr will need to rearrange their defensive lineup and search for a replacement that matches Laporte's capabilities and aligns with the club's aspirations both locally and continentally.
