LAPORTE REPORTEDLY WANTS A MOVE TO LA LIGA AMID BARCA LINKS

posted on August 20, 2021 by in Barca News

Manchester City defender Aymeric Laporte has reportedly informed the English club that he wishes to leave the Etihad stadium in favor of a move to the Spanish La Liga, with the league’s giants Barcelona and Real Madrid said to he keen on snapping him up this summer. Laporte has had a mixed spell since leaving Athletic Bilbao to sign for City some years ago and has found it hard to cement a regular starting spot in Pep Guardiola’s team. Guardiola has had to rotate his defensive options and has switched between John Stones, Nathan Ake, Laporte, and now Ruben Dias after the Portugal international defender joined from Benfica last summer.

After the signing of Dias, the Portuguese central defender has walked straight into the starting eleven and has not looked back since. His fine performances earned him a starting spot in the Portugal national team at the Euros but he was unable to guide his country to win the title. His emergence as City’s best defender has cast doubts over the future of Laporte at the Etihad and there is now a growing belief that the former Bilbao man could be on his way out of Pep Guardiola’s team.
