Aymeric Laporte has been mentioned in connection with Chelsea under Mauricio Pochettino.
Chelsea wants to sign Aymeric Laporte from Premier League rival Manchester City during the summer transfer window, according to Italian journalist Rudy Galetti on Twitter.
The reporter claims that Bayern Munich is also interested in hiring the £130,000 per week (SalarySport) international central defender from Spain.
Aymeric Laporte, a defender for Manchester City, might join Chelsea.
Aymeric Laporte may be available for Chelsea to sign from Manchester City during the summer transfer window, in our opinion.
According to rumours, Laporte’s Premier League champions City are open to selling him.
In order to get more playing time, the 29-year-old defender wants to leave the Triple Crown winners.
After all, Laporte is now a member of City’s starting lineup.
For the Citizens last season, the defender made three starts and one substitute appearance in the UEFA Champions League in addition to 11 starts and one substitute appearance in the Premier League.
Chelsea might be able to persuade City to sell them the defender if they are prepared to make a competitive offer for Laporte.
However, since Laporte won’t be playing in Europe next season, Chelsea will have a very difficult time persuading him to transfer to Stamford Bridge during the summer transfer window, especially since Bayern Munich is also interested in signing him.
