AS provides an update on the transfer of Aymeric Laporte, a 31-year-old Spanish defender, which reportedly became complicated before receiving FIFA's approval. His club, Al Nassr, attempted a last-minute maneuver after receiving offers of over €20 million from both Bayer Leverkusen and Napoli. Despite this, Athletic's proposal, valued at close to €17 million, was successful because all the paperwork was in order, even as the Saudi club tried to delay the agreement. The player's market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €15.00m.
