Barcelona to beat Arsenal to £29million Athletic Bilbao star?

Barcelona are willing to meet Aymeric Laporte’s £29million release clause in order to beat Arsenal and Bayern Munich to the Athletic Bilbao defender’s signature.

It was rumoured earlier this month that Guardiola was monitering Laporte at Bayern, who is arguably one of the best young central defenders in Europe. Barcelona are frantically searching for a replacement for long serving legend Carlos Puyol, who will call time on his career at the end of the season.

The Nou Camp side are now able to buy players again after their transfer ban was lifted, and reports in Spain are claiming they are ready to spend big to sign the 19 year old this summer.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has also been tracking the defender, but Barcelona look set to land him this summer.
