Aymeric Laporte has signed a new four-year deal to remain with Athletic Bilbao.

Laporte had been strongly linked with a move to Manchester City this summer as Pep Guardiola identified him as a top target to improve their center back position.

Laporte is just 22 years old and is recovering from a fractured ankle.

Laporte's new deal also raises his release clause to €65 million for the 16-17 and 17-18 seasons before increasing to €17 million after that.
