Has improved a lot through the season.
Can understand why he decided to stay..He'd just had a horrible injury in April and Bilbao were very supportive during his injury,so he probably felt it wasn't 'right' to leave just like that,especially being Basque..Should've tried to see how this season goes and at 50 M €,think we would still have paid it this year but signing a new contract with a higher release clause (65 M €) was dumb as it puts off most if not all interested clubs.
With how Bilbao deal with transfers,he might be forced to spend the rest of his career there,killing his international career too before it's even started.

Why would it kill his international career btw ?

As it stands he can still play for France or Spain "in October 2015, he stated that he would consider representing Spain if rejected by France for UEFA Euro 2016.[22]

In August 2016, at the behest of new national manager Julen Lopetegui, Laporte began the process of making himself eligible for Spain.[25] A month later, he was called up to the senior France squad for 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Bulgaria and the Netherlands in October,[26] but did not play in either match."
 
My only worry with Marquinhos is he's very slight and lacks any ariel prowess. Laporte actually makes more sense because he's capable of playing LB too.

Marquinhos can play RB as he did fair bit when David Luiz was there

Yeah he's not dominant aerially but he's adept. around 55% won the last 3 seasons.
