Spaniard goes to Al-Nassr
While Manchester City celebrated the extension with Bernardo Silva (29) on Wednesday evening, another longtime Skyblues professional said goodbye. Aymeric Laporte (29), who is about to move to Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia, addressed emotional words to the club and fans. He should arrive at his new club in Riyadh on Thursday. He is said to have completed the medical check on Wednesday in Dubai.
“Five and a half unforgettable years, many memories that will always be cherished in my heart,” Laporte wrote. The central defender made 180 competitive games for Man City after his €65 million move from Athletic Bilbao in 2018. Of his memories, the French-born Spaniard continued: “It’s always easy to think about the good things: the trophies, the wins, the goals, the tackles and the big fights in the Premier League. But I will also remember the bad ones: the injuries and absences, the defeats and the mistakes I might have made.”

The fact that Laporte (contract until 2025) could leave the “Citizens” this summer is not surprising, because the treble winner currently has seven central defenders with a total market value of 325 million euros in his ranks. Even before the €90m transfer of Josko Gvardiol (21), who is left-footed like Laporte, the Spanish international only made 24 appearances in the most valuable squad in the world in 2022/23, twelve of them in the Premier League. As a result, its market value fell from EUR 45 million to EUR 25 million.
