Manchester City have reportedly set a price tag north of $30m for Al-Nassr’s target Aymeric Laporte amid interest from the Saudi club.
In the last hours, it is said that European champions Manchester City have accepted Saudi Arabia’s Al-Nassr offer for Spanish defender Aymeric Laporte.
According to several reports, Al-Nassr had offered $20 million to sign Laporte; however, the Citizens don’t want less than $30 million for the centre-back.
The news are according to Arriyadiyah, who also revealed that Al-Nassr are keen on finalizing the deal before the end of this week, as negotiations with the player are still ongoing.
The offer presented to Laporte is reportedly around $45 million for a contract that extends for three years, with an annual salary of $15m.
The 29-year-old has been struggling for playtime in England, making just 12 Premier League appearances last season for champions Manchester City.
With the arrival of €90 million centre-back Josko Gvardiol and the fact that Laporte has two years remaining on his contract, City agreed to let the player go to Saudi Arabia.
Laporte is also said to be open on the move which will see him play alongside Cristiano Ronaldo, Sadio Mané, Marcelo Brozovic, Seko Fofana, and Alex Telles at Al-Nassr.
The Saudi club has spent €77 million so far in the summer, but are yet to sign a centre-back, which makes the Aymeric Laporte deal perfect for all parties.
