Having dropped down the pecking order under Pep Guardiola, Aymeric Laporte has decided to leave Manchester City this summer. The Spanish defender will be joining Al Nassr in the coming days.

After signing Sadio Mane, Marcelo Brozovic, Alex Telles and Seko Fofana, Al Nassr are preparing to welcome two new reinforcements: Otavio, the Portuguese international midfielder from FC Porto, and Aymeric Laporte.

According to FootMercato, the defender is on the verge of arriving in Riyadh from Manchester City. The deal is already complete, with the native of Agen having just agreed to the Saudis' offer of a three-year contract and an annual salary of €25 million.

The English champions had already agreed a transfer fee of around €30 million with Al Nassr. All that was missing was a response from the Spanish international.

Aymeric Laporte joined Manchester City from Athletic Club in the summer of 2018 for a trasnfer fee of €65 million.
