Episode Details

Barcelona are set to reunite Aymeric Laporte with Pau Cubarsí, the defensive duo that anchored Spain’s World Cup triumph, as Laporte’s return to La Liga could be imminent. At 32, Laporte proved his elite class with Spain’s stingy defense, allowing just one goal, and his recent Athletic Club stint saw him make 25 appearances. Talks are already underway with his reps, and with manager Hansi Flick needing a reliable partner for Cubarsí — whose World Cup success was amplified by Laporte’s presence — this move makes strategic sense. Cubarsí praised their on-field chemistry and even drew parallels to former teammate Iñigo Martínez. With a release clause under $15 million, Laporte could be a seamless, high-impact addition to Barcelona’s backline.
