“Dear Cityzens, today I wanted to share a story with you,” Laporte said in his statement.

“This is now our history. Thank you and see you really soon.”

Laporte spent five and a half years at Manchester City after being acquired from Athletic Bilbao in January 2018. In that period he made 180 appearances, but his role with the club got more and more limited.

With the signing of Croatian international Josko Gvardiol Laporte has fallen further down the pecking order and it is no surprise the Spaniard is looking for a different club.
