Aymeric Laporte shared a heartwarming farewell message addressing Manchester City fans as he nears a transfer to Al-Nassr.
The Spanish international has confirmed he will part ways with reigning European and English champions, ending a five-and-half-year-long journey in Manchester.
The defender shared an emotional farewell message along with a video that encapsulated his journey with City. He wrote: “Dear Cityzens, today I wanted to share a story with you. It has lasted for five and a half unforgettable years. Plenty of memories that I will keep forever close to my heart. It’s always easy to think of the good ones : the trophies, the wins, the goals, the tackles and the big fights in the Premier League. But I will also remember the bad ones: the injuries and being sidelined, the defeats and the mistakes I may have made.
“From trophies to setbacks, victories to injuries, it’s all been part of my journey, and I’m grateful for absolutely every moment that shaped me into who I am today. I want to thank everyone who made this journey possible: the Man City board, the coaches and the whole staff, every single teammate I shared the dressing room with, and of course all of you.
“It was an honor and a pleasure to wear these colors, and I hope you will remember me in a good way for this. Thank you again for everything. I wish you the best of luck for the future and I will always keep an eye on you guys. Until we meet again, Aymeric.”
Dear Cityzens, today I wanted to share a story with you…
