Barcelona alerted as Laporte plans Man City departure

Aymeric Laporte is ready to leave Manchester City at the end of the season.

Laporte is looking to join a side where he can be guaranteed regular minutes as a starter, says Sport.

He has made just 15 appearances for City this season, with injuries and the presence of Nathan Ake costing him minutes.

The defender, 28, was an unused substitute against Newcastle in the Premier League on Saturday.

Barcelona are reported to be interested in his services, though face an uncertain future with it currently unclear if they will be able to sign players in the summer.

The Spanish side have been informed they will have to raise £178million from selling current players if they are to have any chance of entering the transfer market.
