"As" reported that Biba is seriously considering signing Spanish defender Laporte. In addition to Biba, teams such as Juventus, Galatasaray, Fenerbahce, Arsenal, Aston Villa, Marseille, Inter Milan and Naples are also paying attention.

Laporte, 31, has one year contract with Riyadh to win, but the team is in full swing. From the CEO's departure to the change of head coaches, all this has made Riyadh's victory full of uncertainty. In theory, Riyadh victory could be sold or cashed in Laporte in the summer window as he will be a free agent in June 2026 and has attracted the interest of several European clubs. The Spanish national defender is eager to return to Europe to prepare for the upcoming World Cup.

Laporte's current annual salary is about 25 million euros, which is a challenge for Biba. Nevertheless, the club hopes to attract him back through emotional and family factors. Laporte's wife and children were both born in Bilbao, which became a big advantage.

Athletic Bilbao will make economic efforts while remaining within reasonable financial restrictions. Another feasible way is to introduce Unai Nunez, but his transfer is progressing slowly. Unai Nunes is not reused in Celta, and time is good for Athletic Bilbao, and his transfer fee is expected to be reduced in August.

Juventus is willing to provide Laport with a three-year contract with an annual salary of about 5 million euros and pay Riyadh a compensation of 10 million euros. In addition, clubs such as Galatasaray, Fenerbahce, Arsenal, Aston Villa, Marseille, Inter Milan and Naples are also paying attention to Laporte. Athletic Bilbao hopes to gain the lead in this battle.

Laporte won the victory from Manchester City with a transfer fee of 27.5 million euros in 2023. He has played in 69 games so far, scoring 9 goals and assisting 1. Laporte's contract to win with Riyadh expires in 2026.
