Athletic Bilbao president Josu Urrutia plays down Aymeric Laporte talk

Athletic Bilbao president Josu Urrutia denies that his club have received an offer for in-demand centre-back Aymeric Laporte.

Athletic Bilbao have not received any offers for in-demand centre-back Aymeric Laporte, according to club president Josu Urrutia.

The 21-year-old has been linked with the likes of Barcelona and Manchester United in recent months, while a report last month claimed that a deal to bring the defender to Manchester City had already been agreed.

Urrutia, however, has insisted that there have not been any offers for the centre-back.

"We're not aware of any offer for any of these players," Urrutia told AS when questioned on Laporte's future and also that of Oscar de Marcos and Mikel San Jose.

Laporte is believed to have a buy-out clause in the region of £37m.
