Athletic Bilbao confirm new Laporte contract 
The Basque club say the defender has penned a new deal with an increased buy-out clause, despite reported interest from Barcelona and Bayern Munich Athletic Bilbao have confirmed that Aymeric Laporte has signed a new four-year contract with the club. The France Under-21 international's
buyout clause has been increased to ?42 million from ?36m in the new deal - with the centre-back recently linked with European giants Bayern Munich and Barcelona. His previous buyout clause was the greatest obstacle to any move from either club for the defender, but the 20-year-old has always said he wants to continue at Los Leones.
Laporte has spent his entire senior career at Bilbao or its reserve or feeder clubs, breaking into the first-team in 2012.
He has since made 50 league appearances for the Basque side - who will be playing in the Champions League next season, pending qualification - scoring two goals.
