OK Of Laporte: the Barça already has the himself of the central

The newspaper "Sport" advances us this Friday that the sportive direction of the Barça already has the OK of the central of the Athletic 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 adds 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.

The information also stands out that Laporte, everything and his predisposition to fichar, will not give neither an alone step until Athletic and Barça arrive to an agreement. The French feels fully identified with the project of the Athletic and values that the ones of Valverde contest the Champions the next season. In front of this situation, and taking into account that the club bilbaino will not negotiate, the price of Laporte is of 36 million euros (more fiscal costs). A cost that the Barcelona club considers excessive and that, for the moment, has braked any official movement.

The player has signed three different agreements with the Athletic of Bilbao in little more than a year, a fact that reflects the meteoric that has been his progression. Now it has a clause of 36 million euros. It debuted officially with the first team of the Athletic in November of 2012 to the orders of Marcelo Bielsa, and in these dates closed his first agreement like professional until 2015 and with a clause of rescission of 18 millions.

On 28 January 2013, hardly some months afterwards, the Athletic offered him a new agreement until 2016 and with a clause of 27,5 "kilos", whereas the past 20 December 2013 Laporte went back to sign another document, the most current, that links him to the Basque club until 2018 with a clause of rescission of 36 million euros. So that it do not say that the Athletic does not know to keep to his young promises in the team.
