Manchester City defender Aymeric Laporte has played down rumours linking him with a move to Barcelona.

It wasn’t surprising when Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo (reported by Dani Lopez) claiming that Laporte is unhappy at City and favours a move to Barcelona this summer.

Laporte who is currently with the Spanish national team via a post on his official Twitter account have now debunked the rumours.

Responding to the rumour, Laporte tweeted: “Dani, nobody has talked to you and nobody will talk to you”.

Laporte joined City from Athletic Bilbao in January 2018 and has since had an extremely productive career with the Blues, winning three Premier League titles, four EFL Cups and an FA Cup.
