Man City Transfers: 10 Players Pep Guardiola Could Bring To Etihad

By James Hunt /

6. Aymeric Laporte (Athletic Bilbao)

One of the names supposedly high on Guardiola's wishlist for when he takes the Man City job (and, presumably, the wishlist of many of Europe's top clubs) is Aymeric Laporte, Athletic Bilbao's French defender. He's been heavily linked with a move away for a couple of years now, with a reported release clause of ‚37m. With injuries to Vincent Kompany and their other defensive options not fully convincing, it's a price that City may be willing to pay for a player regarded as one of the best young defenders in Spain.
