Graham Potter’s Chelsea are interested in signing Aymeric Laporte from Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City in the summer transfer window, according to journalist Rudy Galetti on Twitter.
Galetti has reported that Chelsea are monitoring the situation of Laporte at Premier League rivals Manchester City.
90min reported earlier this month that defending champions City are willing to sell Laporte in the summer transfer window.
The £130,000-a-week (SalarySport) 28-year-old Spain international reportedly wants to leave City after losing his place in the team.
Barcelona are interested in the centre-back, according to 90min.
Chelsea linked with Manchester City defender Aymeric Laporte
Could a summer transfer happen?
In our view, Chelsea could be able to sign Aymeric Laporte from Manchester City in the summer transfer window.
Now, we know that City do not stop players from leaving if they get a good transfer fee.
And Chelsea could be willing to pay a lot for the Spain international.
Yes, Laporte is not playing regularly for the City first team right now, but he is only 28 and is at the top of his game at the moment.
So, City will know that they could get a very good transfer fee.
Yes, Chelsea will challenge for the Premier League title next season, but City sold Raheem Sterling to the Blues in the summer of 2022.
