"Athletic Bilbao" has announced on its official website that it has received permission from FIFA to register "Al-Nassr" defender Aymeric Laporte.
Idman.biz reports this with reference to the club's official website.
"Athletic Bilbao" and "Al-Nassr" had previously reached an agreement on a 3-year contract and a 10 million euro transfer fee. However, the deal fell through due to delays in documents from the Saudi Federation.
According to reports, FIFA has authorized the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) to obtain an International Transfer Certificate (ITC) from the Saudi Arabian Football Federation.
From the moment the certificate is issued, "Athletic" will be able to add the player to its squad.
Let us remind you that "Athletic" is "Qarabag's" opponent in the group stage of the Champions League. The clubs will face each other in Bilbao on October 22.
