DONE DEAL: Txiki tribute as Laporte leaves Man City for Al-Nassr

Al-Nassr have completed the signing of Manchester City defender Aymeric Laporte.

The Spain international moves to the SPL for a fee of €27.5m.

Laporte made 180 appearances for City in total, scoring 12 goals, having arrived in 2018 from Athletic Bilbao.

"Aymeric has been an excellent player for Manchester City during a great time for the club," said City's director of football Txiki Begiristain.

"He fit into the team seamlessly upon arrival in 2018 and played a key role in many of our successes over the years that followed.

"The form of the other defenders in the squad made it hard for him to find sufficient game time in 2022-23 and we respect his decision to seek a move elsewhere."
