Here are your Manchester City evening headlines for Thursday, August 24.
City Director of Football Txiki Begiristain has confirmed that the club made the decision to sell Aymeric Laporte because they could not promise him the game time he wanted. The Spanish international completed his exit from the club this afternoon, joining Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr.
He has joined the Saudi outfit for a fee understood to be north of £20million. He spent five-and-a-half years at the Etihad Stadium, in which time he made 180 appearances, chipping in with 12 goals. He also won 13 major trophies, including five Premier League titles.
Explaining why he has left the club, Begiristain said: "Aymeric has been an excellent player for Manchester City during a great time for the club.
"He fit into the team seamlessly upon arrival in 2018 and played a key role in many of our successes over the years that have followed. The form of the other defenders in the squad made it hard for him to find sufficient game time in 2022/23 and we respect his decision to seek a move elsewhere. I look forward to following his career from afar."
