As it has informed in the last hours "ETB", the young French defender of the Athletic of Bilbao, Aymeric Laporte, would have foot and half in the Manchester City, club that would be able to pay his clause of 50 million euros to do with the services of the footballer of face to the next season 2016-17 and give, of this form, to Pep Guardiola of his first signing of the summer.
To his 21 years, Laporte would have clear that his stage like player of the Athletic of Bilbao would have finalised and would be had to assume challenges more powerful in his sportive career. FC Barcelona and Manchester City, among others big clubs, would be had to bid by his services to the term of the present course, but the reality is that the central youngster of Basque origin would give preference to the Camp Nou before that to the Etihad Stadium, so much by adaptation -carries already several seasons squandering in the League BBVA- as by bet futbolística, since it would feel more to integrated taste in the gear of game of the Barça, of touch and possession, that in the one of the disturbed Manchester City.
In this coyuntura, the Barça would be negotiating with the surroundings of Marquinhos but would keep opened the road of Laporte. The main obstacle to the signing of the second, however, would be the clause of 50 million euros that has at present with the Athletic of Bilbao, and that the Barcelona would be meditando if credit or no. In front of the doubts of the Barça, the future Manchester City of Pep Guardiola has gone tanteando the terrain and making approximations, until the point that it would have advanced so much on the way that so only would remain him a step for ficharle.
If the Barça really wishes to do with the signing of Laporte, therefore, would have to react during the next hours, before it was too late and the Manchester City advance entirely. For this, would do fault a formal offer of the FC Barcelona and that from the offices of the Camp Nou were had to pay the 50 million clause of rescission, something that for the moment does not have sucedido.
The Barça will have like each summer a limit to spend in new incorporations, that will go back to be of 60 million euros more the money that can ingresarse by future sales. If they pay 50 "kilos" by Laporte and 3 more by Denis Suárez, would remain 7 millions to try guarantee the arrival of an attacker of second line that can exert of fourth forward to give rest to the "MSN".
This, joined to the money that can take out by Adriano, Bartra, Sandro, Douglas and, in definite, the players that do not explain for the next season. At the end, it would be possible that the accounts finish going out. But for this it is necessary to begin to move threads.
