In the absence of official confirmation from the clubs involved, Laporte has already packed his bags. After five and a half years at Manchester City, the center-back will move to Saudi Arabia after Al Nassr offered the sky-blue club 27.5 million euros in exchange for the player’s token. Laporte joins Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mané in a team seeking its first league title in five years.
In January 2018, Laporte landed in Manchester to reinforce the defense and ended up becoming an integral part of a team that has won the Premier League five times, that has lifted the FA Cup and the League Cup two and four times respectively, and that last season conquered Europe. In addition to defense, Laporte contributed by scoring 12 goals and distributing four assists in 180 games with the light blue jacket.
Aymeric Laporte confirmed his departure on social media, where he posted a video to say goodbye to what has been his fan base for the last five and a half years. “Dear cityzens”, reads the defense’s message. “Today I want to share a story with you… One that has spanned an unforgettable five and a half years. There are many memories that I will keep forever in my heart.
