Aymeric Laporte is set to sign a three-year deal with Saudi Pro League club Al-Nassr after the club agreed a £25m fee with Manchester City.
The defender, 29, has accepted the offer of joining Cristiano Ronaldo at the club, with a salary of £20m on the table. His medical has been booked and he will officially join Al-Nassr assuming no issues arise there.
Laporte has amassed an impressive collection of medals in Manchester under Pep Guardiola’s guidance, with five Premier Leagues, two FA Cups, three League Cups and the Champions League all won since his arrival for £57m in January 2018.

However, the Spain international was an unused substitute in that Champions League final against Inter in June which completed the treble and made just 12 league outings last season. The arrival of Croatia defender Josko Gvardiol from RB Leipzig for £77.6m this summer pushed Laporte further down the pecking order, prompting his departure from the Premier League.
