FIFA blocked Aymeric Laporta’s 10 million euros to return to Athletice Bilbao after AL-NASSR has failed to submit transmission documents before date/ picture: x Basque -Club will not disappear after FIFA has stopped the transfer of Aymeric Laporte and is ready to escalate the matter for the Sport Arbitration Court. Meanwhile, the Turkish side of Besiktas is equal to movement for the Spanish defender, as the saga intensifies.
Homecoming has denied
The Athletic Club plan to bring Aymeric Laporte back to San Mamés hit the wall. FIFA refused to transfer EUR 10 million from the Saudi Arab side of the Al-Nassr due to late paperwork, so the 31-year-old defender in the limb. Despite the completion of the personal terms and conditions for the three-year agreement and the submission of its documentation in time, Athletic saw that the move was blocked after the Saudi Arab football Federation failed to record the transmission documents Al-Nass before the deadline for the factors “out of their inspection”. The Spanish club, which considers Laporte a basic piece for sports and symbolic reasons, is now waiting for a decision from the FIFA dispute. If the decision fails to go through their journey, they are already ready to escalate the matter to the Arbitration Court for Sport (CAS) in the hope that the result will reverse.
Timeline
The transmission collapsed in the last hours of the window, not because of the failure of negotiations, but because of what the athletic argument was a purely administrative mistake. Laporte explained that he wanted to return to Bilbao, refuse other offers and agree to a three -year contract. Athletic was ready to pay a fee of EUR 10 million and even offered a login package to help balance its departure from Al-Nassro. However, the Saudi club refused Laport’s request for termination of the contract and failed to submit its paperwork in time. As a result, FIFA decided that the player could not be registered until another window opens in January. Athletic, pointing to the fact that all parties agreed, claims it is unfair to penalize players and buyers for a mistake he made elsewhere. According to the FIFA rules, there is room for the “exception of verification”, which is a clause that allows late registration if the delay is caused by another party’s error. However, these appeals rarely succeeded.
BESIKTAS Enter the frame
While the athletic struggle for Laporte’s renewal, the Turkish club Besiktas was moving rapidly. Reportedly, they are in direct interviews with the player and have already submitted an offer of Al-Nassru loans. According to Goal.com, the Saudi club can be open to this alternative agreement, especially now that their own window has closed and the possibilities for Laporte are limited. If Athletic’s appeal fails and FIFA refuses to get on, Besiktas could plunge and complete the loan and effectively end any hope of meeting between Laporte and the club, where it increased to importance.
What is at stake
For Athletic, this situation is more than just a transfer that has gone wrong. Laporte, the product of their academy, was perceived not only as a defensive upgrade, but as a key character in the Ambition of the Champions League. The club has made its return through a priority throughout the summer, just to be left without signing the awning and their plans raised.For Laport’s rejection, he deepens what has already been a frustrating period. A 29 -year -old man joined Manchester City from Athletice in January 2018 for what was the club record of £ 57 million. During the five and a half season in England, City helped raise 13 main honors, including five Premier League titles, and played a role in the historical height of last season. But his role decreased; In this final campaign he performed only 24 performances at all competitions.In the summer of 2023 he moved to Al-Nassro in an agreement of £ 23.6 million. But the transition to Saudi Arabia could not re -enter his career. Laporte fought regularly and actively sought the way back to European football at the highest level. Although he rejected more lucrative offers elsewhere, he sought to return to San Mamés and agreed with a three -year agreement. His efforts were eventually canceled by delay of paperwork from his control.Until the re-evaluation of FIFA, the Spanish international treaty remains on the contract with Al-Nassre, which takes place within 30 June 2026. Although it is currently in Bilbau, it cannot be registered in the LA league until January if the dismissal fails.
