According to Sport, Barcelona plans to contact Laporte's team in the coming days or hours to inquire about the transfer possibility of the Spanish international center-back.
Laporte's performance in this World Cup has attracted widespread attention. His defensive partnership with Cubarsí became one of the key pillars for Spain's victory, and the two are also considered one of the most solid center-back pairings in this tournament. Barcelona is satisfied with Laporte's performance and believes that his combination of youth and experience is very suitable for the team.
Barcelona's sporting director Deco had preliminary contact with Laporte's camp during his time in the United States, and both parties agreed to talk again after the World Cup. Deco watched several World Cup matches live and was impressed by the 32-year-old center-back's quality. Internally, Barcelona believes he still has several years of high-level career left, especially valuing his experience, leadership, and ball-playing ability. Furthermore, Laporte's release clause is less than 15 million euros, making it a very cost-effective deal from an economic perspective.
Barcelona also mentioned the precedent of Iñigo Martínez. The center-back, also from the Basque region, initially raised questions when he joined but ultimately became an indispensable part of the team's defense through stable performances. Barcelona believes that Laporte possesses similar qualities and has also received high praise from the coaching staff.
Barcelona has already contacted people close to the player and plans to continue advancing negotiations in the coming days to strengthen the central defense. Deco will decide whether to further push the deal based on subsequent communication. Currently, Laporte's name is already on Barcelona's sporting director's transfer list.

We get him, Flick plays highline, we concede 4 goals in a single match then we start criticising him. Solution is from within.
You are very smart bro. No matter how good a defender is the high line will overtake him. But i like him just for experience and he can coordinate the defense like Martinez. Anyway i believe so

So what is there to monitor again? for a player as good as he is, with a low price of €15 million. at list u saw how good he was at the world cup, or are u waiting until he becomes free agent

In fact this is non-negotiable. He's no doubt the missing jewel in the heart of the Barcelona defense. The added advantage is that he has that telepathic understanding with Pau Cubarsi. Just imagine Spain conceded once in all the 8 matches they played at the mundial. Though he's a little bit above 30, I think he's demonstrated per his performance at the WC that he still has a lot to offer at the highest level .

Laporte will be a very good singing for Barcelona, if we can get him and Alvarez this transfer window, we can win the UCL next season

they should sign him..a very good partner for cubarsi. A quality left footed centre back who can compliment barcelona's style of play very much.
