Arsenal are planning to sign midfielder Aymeric Laporte in the context that the Spaniard is no longer in Man City’s plans after Timber is injured.
Arsenal are looking to return to the transfer market after Timber was injured and had to take a long-term break, and the Gunners are looking to upgrade their defense.
Man City’s Aymeric Laporte is a name on Arsenal’s radar. The official offer will be sent to Man City soon by the Emirates Stadium team.
Laporte used to be an irreplaceable pillar of coach Pep Guardiola in the past. However, injuries caused him to decline in form and now it is only a backup plan.
In the 2022/23 season when Man City won the treble, the contributions of the midfield bridge in 1995 were relatively lackluster. Central defender No. 14 could not find a place in the main team of coach Pep Guardiola.
Now, Laporte’s future at Man City is very uncertain. In the context of MC successfully recruiting Josko Gvardiol, The Citizens are ready to let the Spaniard leave if a reasonable offer is received. The contract between Laporte and the Green Man is valid until June 2025. He is currently valued at £25 million by Transfermarkt.
Over the years, Arsenal regularly recruits Man City players. Last season, Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko joined Emirates and quickly became the mainstay of the new team.
