Barcelona ready to sacrifice Christensen for Man City defender Laporte

Barcelona are drawing up plans to sign Manchester City defender Aymeric Laporte.

Relevo says Laporte is unhappy with his situation and wants to leave City this summer.

The 28-year-old wants to return to La Liga and dreams of a move to Barcelona - who have a concrete interest in the player.

Laporte is ready to drop his current salary of €6.5m net per season to push the move through.

Barcelona want Laporte despite them agreeing terms with Iñigo Martínez, 31, who will join from Athletic Bilbao in a Bosman transfer.

Barcelona hopes to receive a good offer for Andreas Christensen, 27, and so sell him. In this way, they would finance the signing of Laporte.
