Selling ‘quality’ Man City player would be mistake by Pep Guardiola [Opinion]

Aymeric Laporte has an uncertain future at Manchester City after losing his place at centre-back. Pep Guardiola preferred Ruben Dias and John Stones in defence last season and Mundo Deportivo recently reported interest in the 27-year-old from Barcelona.

Letting Laporte leave wouldn’t be a wise decision from City, however, as he’s a valuable player who’d be difficult to replace. The French-born Spanish international joined the Sky Blues from Athletic in 2018 and has gone on to make 111 appearances in all competitions.

Laporte is no longer commanding a starting place, however.
