Barcelona concede that Man City have won the race to sign Aymeric Laporte


It’s very rare that Barcelona concede defeat in the transfer market but the Catalan giants have accepted that Manchester City have beaten them to the signing of Athletic Bilbao defender Aymeric Laporte, report Sport.
The deciding factor was, you guessed it, the announcement that Pep Guardiola will be managing there next season.

A big move has been on the cards for some time for Laporte. A French U-21 international, he’s been a star in the Bilbao defence for the last four years. His release clause is €50 million so the deal is going to be expensive.
City’s defensive frailty in the absence of Vincent Kompany would give Guardiola licence to reinforce his backline. Manchester United were also known to be after the 21-year-old centre-half.
The ripple effect of the Guardiola coup is only starting to be felt. The fact that City can lure stars away from clubs like Barcelona for sporting reasons rather than simply financial ones is a fascinating development.
