The reach centre-back is chased by Top European clubs
TRANSFER MARKET LAPORTE ATLETICO BILBAO / He was born on May 27, 1994, but despite his young age (23) Aymeric Laporte is already a hell of a defender. He has a great physical strength (Height: 1,91 m) and a fine touch, unusual skills for defenders.
His ability to play the ball and restart the action is remarkable. Laporte is definitely a rising star who attracted the interest of several Top European clubs. Manchester City, Barcelona, and Real Madrid are among the clubs keen on him, despite his recent history of injuries.
The 23-year-old centre-back is doing great things with Atletico Bilbao. Although his contract is set to expire in June 2020, Pep Guardiola is ready to make a sensational offer for the Spanish side already in January. Probably, it will be refused but this is going to be Manchester City's first attack to its prey. The Spanish giants are monitoring the situation though. Zidane likes Laporte too while Valverde needs another centre-back able to develop Barcelona's tactical scheme from the defensive line.
Aymeric Laporte's price-tag is around €30 million at this time. This is a fair value for such a smart and skilled defender. The next transfer window in January could be useful to start negotiations with Atletico Bilbao but the next summer should be the right moment to see Laporte moving to a Top European club.
