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.

The Real Winner of the Democratic Debate: President Obama   More Sanders Snarks as Democratic Debate Gets Heated Democratic Candidates Court Black Voters at Debate Clinton and Sanders Walk a Careful Line on Women at Debate There were only two Democrats on the debate stage in Milwaukee on Thursday night, but they should have brought a third podium for President Obama. Coming back from a landslide defeat in the New Hampshire primary, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton doggedly criticized Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders on areas where he’d split with Obama while duct-taping herself to the President’s legacy on issues as varied as foreign policy , health care and Wall Street . Sanders, for his part, did his best to hold his ground, justifying his criticism of the President and presenting himself as a change agent while pointing out Clinton’s own differences with Obama. Their heated exchanges over Obama’s legacy reflected how the President has b...

Oscar Pistorius Will Be Sentenced for Murder After Dismissal of his Appeal

A lawyer for Oscar Pistorius says South Africa’s highest court has dismissed the former track star’s appeal of his murder conviction. The ruling by the Constitutional Court on Thursday clears the way for a judge to sentence Pistorius for murder at a hearing scheduled for April 18. Defense lawyer Andrew Fawcett confirmed the Constitutional Court’s decision and said: “We’ll proceed to the sentencing.” Pistorius, who killed girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in his home in 2013, had appealed to the Constitutional Court, saying another court erred when it overturned a manslaughter conviction and declared the Olympic athlete guilty of murder. The minimum sentence for murder in South Africa is 15 years, though a judge can reduce that sentence for what the law describes as exceptional circumstances. Pistorius is currently under house arrest. [ Time ]
