Manchester City accept Al-Nassr's offer to sign Aymeric Laporte

The Cityzens have already signed Josko Gvardiol this summer

According to David Orenstein, Manchester City have accepted an offer for Aymeric Laporte from Cristiano Ronaldo side Al Nassr.

Aymeric Laporte is now free to negotiate terms with the Saudi Pro League team because the offer, which has not yet been shared, has met City’s assessment of the centre-back.

Prior to the Super Cup match against Sevilla, Laporte is in Athens with Pep Guardiola’s team, as City set to take on Sevilla in UEFA Super Cup.

Following the signings of Alex Telles, Cristiano Ronaldo, Sadio Mané, Marcelo Brozovic, and Sadio Mané, Al Nassr is seeking to add the Spain international as the newest high-profile player.

Laporte, 29, fell down the hierarchy at the Etihad Stadium this year, therefore City were open to offers this summer. Josko Gvardiol, another left-footed centre-back, was also acquired by the team this summer for €90 million, severely decreasing Laporte’s chances of playing regularly.
