Aymeric Laporte left Manchester City last summer due to feeling frustrated playing out of position as a left-back instead of his preferred center-back position. Despite being injury-free in his last season, Laporte did not play much and decided it was time to leave the club. He opened up about his decision in an interview with Spanish outlet Radio Marca, stating that he felt it was the right moment to move on due to life circumstances and his situation at City.
Laporte had a successful spell with City, contributing with his excellent passing range from the back. However, he felt overlooked in his final season and was often played out of position on the left wing. Despite offers from top European clubs not coming in, Laporte made the decision to join Saudi Pro League club Al Nassr. While his departure was seen as a loss for City, his reasons for leaving were considered understandable given the circumstances.
Fans and analysts alike were surprised by Laporte’s move to Saudi Arabia, as his talent was seen as deserving of a spot at a top European club. However, his frustrations with playing out of position and lack of opportunities may have influenced his decision to leave City. In his new environment at Al Nassr, Laporte is hoping to showcase his skills and potentially make a return to Europe in the future.
