According to the Daily Sports Daily, Laporte hopes to return to Athletic Bilbao, but has not yet negotiated compensation with Riyadh for victory.

Laporte joined Riyadh in 2023 to win, but now he hopes to return to European football and strive to participate in next year's World Cup. Riyadh is also willing to let go of the crowd, and has signed Inigo Martinez to replace Laporte. Laport did not participate in the few warm-up matches of Riyadh victory this summer, nor did he come to Hong Kong, China to prepare for the Saudi Super Cup, but continued to handle his own departure negotiations.

The Daily Sports Daily said that Laporte hopes to return to Athletic Bilbao, where he debuted. Athletic Bilbao and Riyadh victory have been in talks this summer. Despite some progress, there are still differences. The most important difference is that Laporte hopes to negotiate a successful termination with Riyadh, but he demands half of the annual salary of the remaining one year's contract as compensation, which is 12.5 million euros. And Riyadh Victory refused to pay him the money. Athletic Bilbao may be willing to raise the contract offer next to unlock the deal.

In addition to Laporte, Riyadh winning midfielder Otavio is also preparing to leave the team this summer and has not come to Hong Kong, China to participate in the Saudi Super Cup. Atletico is currently interested in Otavio.
