This deal brings to an end a high-profile pursuit, with Athletic now adding another piece to their evolving squad structure. It's the end of the road for a transfer story that featured a number of different potential suitors along the way, including Como 1907. Aymeric Laporte is now confirmed as a Athletic player, with everything from contract approval to medicals now done. Athletic's back line has been a real strength this season, conceding just 1.12 goals per game (9 in 8).
