injured and the departing Fernandinho already drafted in to cover one centre-back position, Laporte started the final game of that season, the dramatic 3-2 victory against Aston Villa, despite picking up a muscle injury in the final moments of a Champions League game at Real Madrid and a knee injury atThat effort forced him to have surgery as soon as the season finished and, ultimately, he never won his place back last season, making his first start four games before the World Cup break.

His departure is far from the end of the world for City — they had started to move on without him and have signed Gvardiol anyway — but none of that should mean he leaves European football.
