The club where carry all a life and that has offered him the possibility to play the football to the greater level. Aymeric Laporte could have gone out to the FC Barcelona, where the technical office expected him with the open arms, but did not do it. Neither it opted by the singings of siren that arrived from Manchester with the City of Pep crying by him.

His decision was the one to be still in the Basque team, as it explained in an interview for the chain "RMC". The French defender, that has been summoned by Didier Deschamps for the next meetings of the "blue", explained of this way his no exit:

"If the door is closed for a big club? It does not have at all that see. I have had the opportunity to go to one of the clubs that sounded, but decided to remain me by personal reasons and also give the thanks to the club that has me relanzado in the world of the football. It has been only to thank for them all what have done by me. In me it saw a potential that nowadays is a profit for all. I am well in the Athletic", explained.

And what did was to renew his agreement by the group bilbaíno, increasing his index card and turning it into the player that more earns of the club. With this came a rise of his cláusula of rescission, exceeding these 50 "kilos" that the City could have paid without despeinarse. These finish carrying to John Stones and the Barça to Samuel Umtiti, by what seems that they neither went out badly with the change.
