Not all transfers are straightforward and ‘Laporte ABC’ reveals just how unorthodox some deals can be.
Having tracked Aymeric Laporte for close to two seasons, City decided that the January 2018 transfer window was the time to make a move for the Athletic Bilboa defender.
But with the window about to close, the deal needed to be done quickly.
‘Laporte ABC’ takes us through the transfer from start to finish, and reveals how the Spanish defender was pitched into his debut against West Brom inside 48 hours of joining City.
But that forms only part of this fascinating documentary which tracks Aymer’s journey from junior football to becoming one of the best defenders in the world.
Told by those closest to him, team-mates, mentors, friends, family, coaches and many others tell the whole story of Laporte’s journey so far.
A fascinating insight, with cast of those closest to Aymer, watch the CITY+ documentary now on the video above...
