  • When asked about a potentail move to Barcelona, Laporte responded: "The interest from Barcelona makes me happy because when you are little, you dream of playing for big clubs."



    The player has a 36 million release clause in his contract and Barcelona are rumoured to be ready to trigger it to secure the signing of the defender. When asked about such a clause, Laporte responded: "They would be willing to match my €36 million clause? I do not know, frankly I cannot say anything."
