Aymeric Laporte

[Flavia]

Tele Bilbao says the deal is worth 36M. More news expected.

That's his buyout... I'll believe it when I see him signing the contract. I've seen enough these past years to not get my hopes up.

I sincerely hope that this is true.

Alba-Laporte-Pique-Bartra backline pls.

He's not worth 36m, but let's face it, these days, hardly any player is worth his price. I'd be fine with getting him. Better than spending it on Luiz at least.

 

[JamDav1982]

36m too much for him I think but wish him well if he comes obviously.

If we're paying his buyout doesn't that mean that we will have to pay taxes on that 36M as well?

 

[Ryan_Cule]

Guerrero just said on Tele Bilbao... "Txiki Begiristain told me they can not sign Laporte because it has contract agreement with Barca."

 

[Sumlit]

36M is too much for him. He is a rising player, but paying for promise is a slippery slope.

Father jokes appearing soon..........

Alba-Laporte-Pique-Bartra backline pls.

Bartra starting RB?

inb4 we pay 40m to his father and the deal ends up being worth 130m somehow.

I think the same but have seen some quick players take him to the cleaners this season.

Sergio Garcia at Espanyol dragged him all over the place and taught him a bit of a lesson. That put me off a bit.

 

[DinhoR10]

Bartra starting RB?

Well when he plas with Alves he's basically playing as both a CB and RB anyway He'll basically be Abidal if he played there.

 

[JamDav1982]

Maybe their new stadium is costing more than expected and forced to sell?

Also I am sure the local government has this year stopped giving them around 10m a season. Maybe not the same position to be so hard to deal with at moment.

Pure guesses but they are not usually this easy to deal with.

Isn't 36m his buyout clause? Which means we're not dealing with them, just paying his buyout clause. If this is true, of course.

No they didnt accept that with Martinez and Bayern had to pay above that for tax to get him.

There is nothing more confusing than the LIGA BBVA clubs release clause rules.

No they didnt accept that with Martinez and Bayern had to pay above that for tax to get him.

Bayern had to give the money to Javi Martinez who paid out his clause himself, that way Atheltic had no choice. Of course in return Bayern had to pay all the taxes, but then again Martinez took a pay-cut which helped the case.
