 | Manchester City broke his transfer record30-01-2018 |
Manchester City broke his club transfer record with the attraction of Atletic Bilbao Ajmer Laporte`s central defender. Citizens activate the French franchise, which is 57 million pounds (65 million euros). So the defender is now the most expensive purchase in the history of Manchester City as his transfer is two million higher than that of Kevin de Bruyne. Laporte is now the second most expensive defender in football after Virginie van Dijk, for whom Liverpool recently paid 75 million pounds. The news was confirmed by Athletic Bilbao`s official site. The message reveals that the clause has been activated, but there is no mention of Manchester City`s name. The English club has not yet come out with an official statement. The 23-year-old player uses the opportunity to say goodbye to the Bilbao fans:`I have to say so many things in only a few lines, I want to thank everyone for what you have given me, I arrived as a teenager, personality and footballer I would not want my departure, which is related to taking on a new challenge in my career, to be a goodbye but rather a good-bye to leave a unique club that I will never forget Thank you all for that! `.
