Athletic Club is braced for a possible step to bring Aymeric Laporte back to the club this summer.
Laporte urges to leave Nassr in the coming weeks while he wants to go back to Europe prior to the FIFA World Cup 2026.
The veteran defender insists on being involved with the Luis de la Fuente team for the tournament next summer with large competition for places in his back line.
The 31-year-old has previously hinted that he would be interested in moving to Real Madrid, but that did not end up in an offer to bring him back to Spain for the 2025/26 season.
There is also interest from the Premier League in Laporte with Arsenal and Aston Villa who followed him.
According to reports from caught offside, Villa and Arsenal have made contact with the representatives of Laporte.
However, there are a number of other clubs that are also interested in him, including Napoli, Inter Milan, Marseille and his first team Athletic Club.
A move to the Serie A calls him, but the attraction of a move to the Basque Country can be decisive as part of any conversations.
His current contract in Riyad runs until June 2026 and this summer is the last chance of Al Nassr to sell.
According to the latest report from Diario AS, NASSR is ready to listen to offers, with Juventus the most important challengers of Athletic Club at this stage.
The most important stumbling block to bring him back to Bilbao can be Laporte's enormous wages that he wants to hold in his place.
The report indicates that he currently earns around € 25 million a year in Saudi Aarabia, and that will have to reduce that by more than 50% in order to go back to the Estadio San Mames, if Nassr already sanctions an exit.
