Athletic Club move for Laporte ahead of the new season
Athletic Club have made a verbal offer to Al-Nassr as they push to bring Aymeric Laporte back to Spain, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano. The Spanish side finished fourth in La Liga last season, securing a place in the 2025/26 Champions League. They want to enhance their squad with quality and experience. Athletic have already tied winger Nico Williams, and attention has now shifted to strengthening their defensive options. They have opened talks with Laporte and Al-Nassr. Laporte, who began his senior career at Athletic before joining Manchester City in 2018, is under contract at Al-Nassr until 2026. Laporte open to Bilbao return Laporte will need a pay cut to facilitate a move to Bilbao. His current club will also demand a fee. Despite these challenges, Athletic views him as an important addition. Manager Ernesto Valverde wants to work with players who understand the club's values and culture. The club plans to add experience and leadership to the dressing room, and Laporte ticks both boxes. He is reportedly open to returning to the Basque club, especially with the opportunity to play in the Champions League next season. As preparations for the new campaign continue, Athletic are moving quickly to try and secure the defender's services.

'Made direct contact' – Fabrizio Romano shares new update on future of €40m rated Chelsea ace
Atletico Madrid have made contact with the camp of Renato Veiga, and he's keen on the move according to Fabrizio Romano. Chelsea have been busy this summer and have made three signings so far in Joao Pedro, Liam Delap and Jamie Gittens. The Blues haven't ruled out signing another attacker, whilst they are also looking for a left sided defender to strengthen Enzo Maresca's squad. Atletico Madrid make contact with Renato Veiga Whilst incomings are important, the Blues also have a number of players they are looking to move on in order to balance the books. Chelsea have already sold Noni Madueke, Djordje Petrovic and Kepa Arrizabalaga, with more players set to head to the Stamford Bridge exit door. Veiga falls into that category despite only joining from FC Basel last summer, and the Portugal international spent the second half of last season on loan at Juventus. Veiga is attracting interest from Atletico Madrid. (Photo by) The 21-year-old wasn't part of the Club World Cup squad, and Veiga has attracted interest from German giants Bayern Munich. However, it appears Veiga could be moving closer to a switch to La Liga side Atletico Madrid and Romano has provided an update on the situation. He took to and said: 'Atlético Madrid have now made direct contact with Renato Veiga's camp… and the player is keen on the move!

Athletic Club submit opening offer to re-sign Aymeric Laporte
Athletic Club have already had a good summer so far, and it could soon be about to get significantly better. Nico Williams snubbed a move to Barcelona in order to sign a new 10-year contract, and he could be joined at San Mames by current Spain teammate Aymeric Laporte. Laporte, who has also been linked with a move to Atletico Madrid, is set to leave Al-Nassr this summer, having already been replaced by David Hancko. A return to Europe beckons for the Spain international, and Athletic are one of the clubs said to be very keen to securing his signature. The increased interest in Laporte's services will make it difficult for Athletic to re-sign Laporte, and they are prepared to make the effort to bring him back in Bilbao. And taking this into account, they have submitted an opening verbal offer to Al-Nassr, as reported by Fabrizio Romano. Image via Cordon Press Athletic won't break the bank to re-sign Laporte It's not clear how much Athletic are offering, but regardless, it will be difficult for them to re-sign Laporte. As per Diario AS, Al-Nassr want to recover a significant portion of the €27.5m they spent to acquire him from Manchester City two years ago, with the Saudi Pro League side having no intention to agree a mutual contract termination. And if Laporte does want to return to Athletic, he will need to take a significant wage cut. He earns €25m per season at Al-Nassr, but Los Leones will not pay him anywhere close to this amount. Their idea is for him to be on a lower wage to Williams, whose new deal sees him earn approximately €10m a year. It remains to be seen whether Athletic are able to secure a dream return to San Mames for Laporte, but they are putting in the work to make it a reality.
