Man City release Aymeric Laporte to Al Nassr’s – Reports

The undisclosed offer has met Manchester City’s valuation for center-back Aymeric Laporte, rendering him eligible to engage in negotiations regarding terms with the Saudi Pro League team.

With Pep Guardiola’s squad in Athens ahead of the Super Cup match against Sevilla, Laporte is now a viable target for Al Nassr.

The club aims to secure Laporte as their latest high-profile acquisition, joining the ranks of Cristiano Ronaldo, Sadio Mané, Marcelo Brozovic, and Alex Telles.

Throughout the summer, Manchester City have been open to offers for Laporte, a decision prompted by his descent in the pecking order at the Etihad Stadium in the previous season.

Additionally, the club’s recent signing of Josko Gvardiol, another left-footed center-back, for €90 million has further limited Laporte’s opportunities for consistent playing time.

With John Stones, Rúben Dias, Nathan Aké, and Manuel Akanji also available, Guardiola has multiple options in the centre of defence.

In a parallel development, sources from ESPN have revealed that Manchester City is still awaiting offers for João Cancelo.

The Portuguese full-back was not included in the squad for the victory over Burnley and will be allowed to leave the club once the appropriate bid materialises.

Discussions between City and Barcelona have centred around a potential loan arrangement with an obligation for a permanent transfer.

However, according to sources, Barcelona has not yet presented a formal offer for the player.
