Manchester City’s transfer window continues. The departure of Aymeric Laporte is becoming clearer and the Lucas Paqueta file is keeping recruiters busy.

The season has resumed for Manchester City but the transfer window still seems far from over. Several departures have already been recorded (Riyad Mahrez, Ilkay Gündogan, Benjamin Mendy) and a certain number of arrivals have been validated (Mateao Kovacic, Josko Gvardiol). But Pep Guardiola still seems keen to adjust his squad, especially in defense and midfield. Aymeric Laporte is for example concerned.

The tricolor international had already not been entitled to much playing time last season, he should have even less if he stayed this year. The fault especially with the arrival of Josko Gvardiol, but also with the sparkling form of Nathan Ake during the last exercise. Suddenly, and according to the Dailymail, Aymeric Laporte would now be close to the exit. And like many players, he should be seduced by the Saudi millions. In this case those proposed by Al-Nassr.

Paqueta hoped

The English media therefore considers it very likely to see the player of only twenty-nine years fly to the Saudi Pro League to join the team of Sadio Mané and Cristiano Ronaldo. At the same time, Mancunian recruiters are working on the Lucas Paqueta track. The Brazilian from West Ham is the number one track to make up for the long-term absence of Kevin De Bruyne, who suffered a hamstring injury a few days ago.
