Aymeric Laporte

In August 2026, amid interest from FC Barcelona, reports claimed Athletic Club set a starting price or release clause of €80 million. This followed conflicting July 2026 reports where media suggested a release clause of €12-15 million, which sources at Athletic Club reportedly refuted, claiming the actual figure was between €25-30 million. His Transfermarkt value was listed at €9 million in March 2026. He transferred from Al Nassr to Athletic Club in September 2025 for a €10 million fee, at a time when Al Nassr had reportedly received offers over €20 million from other clubs. Earlier rumours linked him to Real Madrid, with Al-Nassr reportedly open to a €15 million fee in January 2025 and a potential transfer cost estimated between €10-20 million in late 2024.

Our valuation is driven by the conflicting but persistent reports regarding Aymeric Laporte's release clause. While media outlets suggest a figure between €12-15 million, sources from Athletic Club reportedly claim it is significantly higher at €25-30 million. Considering his recent transfer for €10 million in September 2025, the current strong interest from FC Barcelona and Athletic's firm negotiating stance suggest a final fee would likely align with the club's higher valuation.
