During the press conference of this past Friday, Ernesto Valverde commissioned to discredit the informations that plant to Aymeric Laporte like player of the FC Barcelona of face to the next course, and denied also the have received any offer of the Barcelona directive to train to the Barça. "I do not have at all that clear, would have to be the other way around, that cleared me you. I have not refused any offer of any team because I have not had it", has answered the Basque technician on his future, remarking that the only possibility to leave the club is that the board decide to do without he. "And it is not by the work, or that I terminated it, and I want to follow. But like the rumours and the elucubraciones are free...".

With regard to Laporte, considers him a fundamental piece of the Athletic of Bilbao and ensures that the "lions" are not had to give off of his services easily. "Any doubt that it is engaged with the Athletic", has reiterated, adding that "thinking in the next season, more than in signings think in keeping the block. Laporte Is an important piece, have he for next year and think that it will be an important year for him because it can learn a lot. We believe and we want to that have a lot of route in the Athletic"

"Sport" Plants to Laporte in the Barça

Contrary to the words of Valverde, the newspaper "Sport" advanced this Friday that the sportive direction of the Barça already would have the OK of Aymeric Laporte. According to the Catalan newspaper the player would be loved with the idea to dress the Barcelona T-shirt the next season and added that the defence is convinced that, in spite of his youth, is prepared to give the jump. 

From this moment, if the Barça wants to tackle his signing will have to negotiate directly with the Athletic Club of Bilbao, a club that usually does not negotiate and always remits to the clauses of rescission: 36 million euros. To his 19 years, Laporte has consolidated like one of the greater promises of the European panorama in the position of head office. It stands out in all the facets of a good central left and fits to perfection with the profile that looks for the FC Barcelona: speed, aerial game, technician with the balloon, is left-handed, young and has a big capacity of anticipation.
