The 2025 horizon could see Fabio Quartararo become the center of an intense transfer battle in MotoGP. According to information from Motosprint, Aprilia has shown keen interest in securing the services of the 2021 champion from next year. However, it is very likely that the Italian brand is not the only one in the running to attract the Frenchman, who will consider his options in the paddock for the next season.
The end of 2024 will mark the end of many driver contracts, heralding a summer of speculation and potentially tumultuous moves. To date, only a few drivers like Francis Bagnaia at Ducati, Brad Binder at KTM, Luca marini at Honda, and potentially Peter Acosta, also at KTM, have their future already sealed for 2025.
The kick-off of the season Fabio Quartararo in Yamaha , with a disappointing 11th place in Qatar, has only fueled rumors about its future within the Japanese manufacturer, currently in search of performance.
At Aprilia, we are targeting Fabio Quartararo but we also keep Enea Bastianini in mind
On the side ofAprilia, although the firm positions itself as a serious rival to Ducati with KTM, the question of the continuity ofAleix Espargaro, the veteran of the grid, remains unresolved, opening the door to thoughts on future recruitment. Currently, Aprilia also aligns Maverick Vinales and, via the TrackHouse project, Miguel Oliveira et Raul Fernandez.
In the past, Aprilia has expressed interest in attracting an Italian driver, notably Enea Bastianini, an avenue which could be re-examined depending on the decisions of Ducati. However, the profile of Quarterly stands out as a major asset on the transfer market, especially if the men of Yamaha fail to convince the Frenchman of their competitiveness for 2025.
Depending on the choices of Ducati and the final destination of Marc Marquez, Fabio Quartararo could become the centerpiece of the transfer market MotoGP, a valuable asset thatAprilia aspires to capture.
